A Teacher’s Resolution

 Have you set some New Years resolutions for yourself this year? If I were to write down a list of things that I want to do differently this year, the list would be looong. It can be a little hard trying to find some realistic goals, but all we can do is try 🙂  A good way to stick to your goal is to set something out as a reminder because we can easily…  and conveniently forget that we even set a goal at all ;p
My friends at Freebielicious and I want to share some of our goals and resolutions for 2014 with you! To help you get a jump start on the new year we’ve also added some freebies that may help you reach your own similiar goals. 
Many of us are teachers, moms, wives, and bloggers. Our time is very valuable! How many times have you left work late? There is always so much work to do and so many people to talk to, right? Well, getting work done is a must. But, how can we get our plans and materials ready when we chat with our friends so much?  LOL. We are very social butterflies. We like to talk. We talk about things that are work-related and other things that are not so much work-related. And that’s OK, but if you want to pick up your kids from daycare at a decent time,  take the kids to ball practice, get home before the sun goes down, make dinner, help kids with homework, make sure everyone has showered before they go to bed, read the kids a bedtime story, clean the kitchen, and sit back-relax-and watch TV with your hubby, then maybe we need to get a little more work done during our planning time. So here’s my teacher’s resolution that might be similar to yours. 
Ok. To think it and say it might not be enough because I might forget all about it later. So, I created a nice little sign that can be used as a reminder. It’s free for you. Just print, laminate and post it next to your desk or classroom door. Hopefully this will help us learn how to finish early at work and go home early to enjoy our families EVERY DAY! There is a signature line at the bottom so that we can hold ourselves accountable.

Did you notice the signature line? LOL. It says “Signed with high hopes” because no matter how easy the resolution might seem, it can be a little difficult to stick to it at first 🙂
