One of the secrets of getting more done is to make a to-do list every day, keep it visible, and use it as a guide to action as you go through the day.
No, this isn’t a quote from a self-professed business guru or one of the mantras from a “how to teach” manual. It comes from a 16th century French writer, Jean de La Fontaine.
He wrote dozens of books, full of hundreds of short stories. He was clearly someone who got a lot done, in a time when there weren’t that many labour-saving devices around.
I have found that the start of a new year is always busy and you need to get a lot done in absolutely no time. And each year so far has, for me, been busier than the last. My first year was a nervous one, full of worry about the new classes I was going to meet and teach for a full year.
