\"Plan<\/a><\/p>\n

Most of us put off any heavy-duty\u00a0planning until there’s a multitude of\u00a0things to do\u00a0and shortage of time in which to get them done.\u00a0<\/b>Why not\u00a0get ahead and set yourself up for success?<\/p>\n

It’s actually pretty easy:\u00a0just think like a teacher<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Teachers face all sorts\u00a0of unique challenges when it comes to planning ahead, even now: they have\u00a0contracts to sign, lessons to plan, and holidays to account for. They aren’t alone.<\/p>\n

Administrators\u00a0probably have it worst of all. It\u2019s hard enough budgeting and allocating your own time. Now imagine balancing the needs of an entire\u00a0faculty\u00a0or\u00a0school. These tasks definitely aren’t\u00a0for the meek!<\/p>\n

\"2016-17<\/h2>\n

Our teachers have found a\u00a0secret weapon: the Riegle Press National School Calendar<\/h2>\n

The educators who frequent On Time Supplies have shared a much beloved tool for tackling their planning needs, the Riegle Press National School Calendar.\u00a0Many swear by it and have used it for years, and\u00a0with\u00a0good reason. The calendar\u00a0accounts for their hour-to-hour needs, has plenty of room for notes and additions, is durable, and helps them forecast all of holidays and school-day variations they’ll run into.<\/p>\n

(Oh, and guess what? To help our\u00a0educators stay ahead, we’ve got the\u00a0updated\u00a02016-17 National School Calendar\u00a0in stock right now!)<\/p>\n

Teachers understand the benefit of planning ahead, they have to. And we could all stand to learn a thing or two from their appreciation of\u00a0this calendar.<\/p>\n

Preperation\u00a0will always trump procrastination.<\/h2>\n

Follow our teachers’\u00a0example and\u00a0apply the five P’s:”proper planning prevents poor performance.”\u00a0It’s often said, because it’s often true.<\/p>\n

How often do any of us actually turn adages into action? If you\u2019re a member of the \u201cnot often enough\u201d club now\u2019s the time to start building better habits.<\/p>\n

Lay a solid foundation for the year. Grab\u00a0a calendar<\/a> or day planner<\/a> instead of pulling your hair out over forgotten events, missed deadlines, or uttering the dreaded, “oh, was that today!”<\/p>\n

Don’t let next month or next semester\u00a0catch you unprepared. Think like a teacher. Get ahead.<\/p>\n

Let us know below any time where the five P’s or a calendar<\/a>\u00a0pulled you from the jaws of a major scheduling disaster. Good luck out there!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
