I’m taking a few minutes out of my day (let’s call this my lunch break) to join the Five Minute Friday linkup.
The rules are this (somewhat paraphrased from the site): Each week a one-word writing prompt is shared, and anyone who is interested may freewrite for five minutes flat – no overthinking, no editing . . . just write!
This week’s FMF writing prompt is: NOW
So, now is the word of the day, eh?
Well, right now, I am sitting at a blue card table surrounded by papers, folders, and a notebook.
Right now, I’m dressed in sweat pants, a sort-of-matching Auburn shirt (War Eagle!), and a red plaid robe (because it was a chilly 55 degrees when I got up this morning).
My to-do list is a mile long. Teaching online has added exponentially to my already-hectic profession.
So, for right now, I’m doing my best to focus on the tasks that matter the most – connecting with students and parents to ensure that they understand class expectations and can get online to fulfill them.
I am usually a big picture kind of gal, but I’m finding that looking at the big picture is a bit overwhelming.
I’m trying desperately to focus in on the smaller things I can do – tasks that give me small victories throughout what has become a line of frenetic days.
For this overachieving gal, it’s a tough lesson but one that will prove beneficial for days to come.
