Social-Emotional Learning: Self-Management

 Organizing and planning are important SEL skills. I remember a Finnish saying from my childhood:

Literal: Well planned is halfway done.

Usually translates as: Well begun is half done (wiki)

But sometimes I feel that there is, oh, so very, very much planning to do in my days or weeks. Fortunately I have realized that some mundane taks scattered throughout my days can give a much needed break from thinking too much.

While sweeping the stairs or deck might not be my favorite thing to do, it allows a break in my routines for working on computer. Watching squirrels and birds while doing it is the pleasant add-on. :)
