Lesson Plans

There are marketplaces to buy lessons plans for teachers. But since we are in the school of life, why not buy lesson plans for our life?

I take an early writing class - 5am-6am called 'Writing for Insomniacs'

I have to turn in my writing assignment at the end of each class. The teacher gives us a writing prompt.

Lessons learned

I did it again, and by logging it - I hope to avoid repeating it.

Don't outsource POD to India. They use InDesign. The word file they will send you back will not be useable. It will be full of gremlins. If you ask for a word file, the'll still build it InDesign and send you a word export of it.

The fact is, unless a POD is built from MS Word, your ability to modify it later will be limited by whether or not you have InDesign and KNOW how to use it.

The reminder is;

Time never changes. We either change over time or stay the same.

It got me thinking about momentum...

As we grow, maintaining momentum actually takes more effort, not less. Or if that's the case, have I made a wrong turn?

Or simply the lesson here is that in an effort to compress time, I attempted to take a short cut. That shortcut ending up taking longer.

Everyday, we learn lessons. The education never ends. We are schooled by life. Lessons are repeated until they are learned.

Students

Students have it easy. They show up and the lesson plan is written! Adults have it hard, they have to write their own.

Somedays, I just want someone to give me a lesson plan to follow.
