1

Keep a printed MATATAG curriculum guide in a tray on my desk

Flipping to the right competency beats digging through files on my laptop.
2

Block out one fixed planning hour each week

Same time, same place, no meetings — that hour is only for next week's lessons.
3

Keep a shared folder of worksheets for the whole grade level

When everyone drops in their best sheets, nobody has to start from a blank page.
4

Stick a simple checklist by the desk

One quick glance shows what is printed, what is graded, and what is still missing.
5

Review Friday's notes on Sunday evening

Ten quiet minutes on Sunday keeps Monday from starting with surprises.
