Your schedule is busy and your time is valuable. As a teacher, parent, or someone that wakes up in the morning, there are things that happen unexpectedly and without warning. You have 2 choices, be proactive or reactive. If you're reactive than all things happen to you. When you're proactive, you happen to things.
If you choose the proactive route you may have a schedule you keep, most likely with some sort of calendar. You write down things you need to do and remember. Your calendar is a road map for your life. But what if you went a step further and Designed Your Week! Instead of merely following your map, you blaze the trail!
