I sat down last night and made a list of everything I needed to do before I leave for Cyprus on May 13th – a mere 45 days away. After making the list I had to lie down and try to relax, because making the list helped me get a better idea of what I needed to do, but at the same time made me realize that I am probably not going to get everything done. And this list did not include the standard things like grading, teaching, committees, etc. I really need to find something to help me organize everything. I have using my PDA an Outlook as a way to schedule things, but since I use 3 different computers it doesn’t work well. It will only get worse next year when I add another office and another computer. I have tried to find software to help me get better organized, but haven’t seen anything I like that is affordable. My goal today and tomorrow is to create an itemized list that I can rank in importance and attach some dates to. I also think we need another PKAP meeting to make sure the senior staff is all on the same page.
