Getting organised!

NQTs
After being given temporary management duties in her department, our NQT diarist discovers just how hard it is to keep so many plates spinning at the same time...

I have always been graced with good organisational skills, although I am not entirely sure where they came from. It may have been through having a father who worked in education, or my mother who likes to organise everyone else but herself! 

A prime example was earlier this year when some of you will remember how overly cautious I was about my first trip abroad to Disneyland – taking with me as I did an entire sports bag full of documentation and repeatedly annoying the administration staff about costing, hiring or paperwork.

Either way, I’m incredibly grateful that I have a mild obsession with being organised and overly prepared, even if my other half can sometimes see it more as a curse (“yes honey, I do need to know if you are free December next year as these tickets may sell out?!”)
