When everything seems overwhelming... go play Legos!

10/8/2020

Colleagues,
 
Dr. Anna Brink. Anna is the Director of Federal Programs, Accountability, and Professional Development for Laurens County School District 55 in South Carolina. District office (DO) leaders usually wear many hats, so being intentional about tasks is essential. Anna wrote:
 
Sometimes when things at school/work seem overwhelming and you don't even know where to start, recognize some of the tasks that are still on your "to-do" list and find the one that is going to give you a much needed break, but that will serve and bless others. In my case, 4 pallets of Legos were delivered to a school instead of the district office to sort and as the week progressed, it hung over my head and I knew it was in the way at the school, but I am thrilled to "unbox" them and get them to the schools and it is now an added blessing that they are in an elementary school because we finally have students back in the building and I will not only be able to get my task done, but have fun doing it!
 
One of the things that stood out to me was that Anna chose a specific time to do this task:
  • Friday afternoon, a time when creativity and focus are diminished for many of us
  • With students in the building, Anna was reminded of the importance of what she was doing as well as having positive people around her
  • Although “urgent” it was done well enough in advance that mistakes could be rectified
 
Tomorrow is Friday. What will you do to stay productive?
 
Do good and be well,
 
Frederick
