Off of my 'to do' list:
Get (back) in habit of noting DAILY what I did when there weren't
scheduled classess in; on the calendar, just a mention of 'worked with
small groups', 'cataloged/processed 20 books', 'unit planning with
science teacher', or 'built SciFi display'. The year I was successful
doing it, I started before year started and it got pretty easy to take a
couple of minutes each day. Sure helped with the 'what did I get done?'
feeling on Friday. Also, since mine was (is) online, it helped with the
'pretty cushy job' comments, helps in justifying time and dollar
budgets, etc
<http://www.43folders.com/> is worth skimming occasionally:
* productivity and time management tips
* ideas about modest ways to improve your life and reduce stress
* cool or helpful shortcuts that makes life a bit easier

Our HS/college daughter mentioned voice recorder as a 'off to college'
need; now we're shopping for three..... Great Idea!
