breathyvowel 1:04 PM #eltchat Hi! Not so much managing time, but I find that Toodledo helps me keep track of everything that I have to do. http://t.co/vcORQ3YC
yitzha_sarwono 1:04 PM @ShellTerrell i've always wondered how you find time and juggle all Shell. Tips please? #eltchat
ShellTerrell 1:04 PM I think the time issue is more about our self control. I don't blame the tools, I blame myself when I don't practice time limits #ELTChat
rliberni 1:04 PM @theteacherjames  not denying this that's the problem we don't want to miss anything! #eltchat
OUPELTGlobal 1:04 PM Can someone remind me of the topic - having a rather hectic day here. #eltchat

TailormadeEng 1:06 PM I don't think time management is any wors or better with SM.  I never had enough time before and I still don't now. #eltchat
OUPELTGlobal 1:06 PM Thanks, very appropriate! #eltchat
ShellTerrell 1:07 PM Good tip! We can limit our social ntwks RT @Senicko: #eltchat I no longer waste time on FB, now it's only Twitter. It's a start
theteacherjames 1:07 PM @rliberni No one's going to disagree with that! #eltchat
TailormadeEng 1:07 PM this week has been particularly hard because the clocks have changed here in Brazil.  My body still hasn't got used to it. #eltchat
rliberni 1:07 PM Does the plethora of  materials and content for the classroom also add to the problem of Time Management? #eltchat
worldteacher 1:07 PM @esolcourses I try so hard to do this - end up with a huge list of bookmarked sites that I never have time to go back to! #eltchat
ShellTerrell 1:07 PM RT @SugarJo: Managing time in class? Or managing busy work time in general? #ELTChat I've had almost a year off twitter and hey presto it is still here!

theteacherjames 1:08 PM @Senicko Whenever I hear people say that they are wasting time on FB or Twitter, I say you must be using it wrong! ;-) #eltchat
Senicko 1:08 PM #eltchat At least with Twitter I can use the excuse that it's job related.
rliberni 1:08 PM RT @esolcourses: @ShellTerrell: Same here. I turn Twitter off completely at the weekend, and mainly focus on #eltchats and other useful discussions #ELTChat
educlick 1:08 PM #ELTchat we do allways use an excel file in a shared DROPBOX folder... works great!:) oh, and DOODLE helps also when arranging meetings

BobK99 1:10 PM RT @technolit: At what point does it get labelled an addiction?  #eltchat Good (and serious) question
michaelegriffin 1:10 PM I think my biggest time waster is checking and rechecking and threechecking twitter/email/facebook for something new. #ELTchat
theteacherjames 1:10 PM @ShellTerrell I thought we were trying to encourage teachers to use social media for PD! It's about learning how to use, surely? #eltchat
esolcourses 1:10 PM @worldteacher I do too... but if you never end up looking at those sites, how much will it matter in the bigger scheme of things? #eltchat
AlexandraKouk 1:10 PM RT @technolit: At what point does it get labelled an addiction?  #eltchat
ShellTerrell 1:10 PM I don't focus on making things perfect in lessons anymore & limit this time. My mood impacts the students more so can't be stressed #ELTChat
michaelegriffin 1:11 PM #twitterconfession  of the week. Sometimes I use chromenanny (extension) to block FB and twitter #ELTchat
worldteacher 1:11 PM @esolcourses Probably not at all so then I question the time I spent collecting the list! #eltchat
esolcourses 1:11 PM @worldteacher I try to focus on quality rather than quantity these days - I think I get much more out of social media that way, tbh #eltchat

theteacherjames 1:11 PM @technolit When you feel the need to ask that question!! #eltchat
Senicko 1:11 PM #eltchat I feel I could do much more with the so called extra time I have, but when I sit down to do it something always pops up and, well..

kevchanwow 1:12 PM anyone else find time management becomes a problem because of...management as in admin? #ELTchat
TailormadeEng 1:12 PM I find that I use FB, twitter... much more now, but I hardly ever watch TV. It's a trade off, and one that I think is better. #eltchat

michaelegriffin 1:13 PM @theteacherjames @kevchanwow can you budget time for such things? #ELTchat Like 1 hour per day i will focus on whatever comes up or somethin
theteacherjames 1:13 PM RT @ShellTerrell: I think part of time management is letting go of our control when it comes to planning. Less planning is sometimes good #ELTChat
rliberni 1:13 PM RT @theteacherjames: I work from home as a freelancer, so I have to be strong to avoid temptation. I try to keep office hours as much as possible. #eltchat

ShellTerrell 1:13 PM @teflgeek Yes! That often happens! I'm like where the time go by? #ELTChat
josepopoff 1:14 PM Teachers are multitaskers by nature; that should be a class in grad school: Multitasking I & II  #ELTChat
rliberni 1:14 PM @TailormadeEng  me too I plan my day carefully but things always come from left field! #eltchat
esolcourses 1:14 PM @worldteacher then once again, focus on quality/usefulness... bookmark collections of links, rather than individual ones. #eltchat
ShellTerrell 1:14 PM RT @JoeMcVeigh: Does anyone find speech recognition an effective way to save time? Or is typing faster? #ELTchat
theteacherjames 1:14 PM RT @kevchanwow: anyone else find time management becomes a problem because of...management as in admin? #ELTchat
kevchanwow 1:14 PM @ShellTerrell so agree.  And those unplanned lessons can result in some amazing growth for students.  But the after notes take time #ELTchat
theteacherjames 1:14 PM RT @TailormadeEng: I find that I use FB, twitter... much more now, but I hardly ever watch TV. It's a trade off, and one that I think is better. #eltchat
timjulian60 1:14 PM #eltchat Using a twitter client that can save  links to instapaper or similar is a great timesaver

OUPELTGlobal 1:15 PM @Senicko I like that idea, which means when you're not there your mind tends to relax, right? #eltchat
TailormadeEng 1:15 PM If it's important, it will get done. If it doesn't get done it's because it wasn't important. At least that's what I tell myself #eltchat
worldteacher 1:15 PM @esolcourses Good idea - I'll do that! #eltchat
Dave_Ferguson 1:15 PM @JoeMcVeigh I've found speech recognition helpful, esp for transcribing notes from books or printouts. #eltchat
kevchanwow 1:15 PM @michaelegriffin @theteacherjames that's good.  The UNH (unallocated necessary hour) to do what suddenly must be done.  #ELTchat
esolcourses 1:15 PM @rliberni @worldteacher same here, sometimes.  So many great links, and too little time, is what I think it basically boils down to #eltchat
Senicko 1:15 PM @theteacherjames #ELTChat Ahhh, 4 letter word composed of 5 ! ADMIN
ShellTerrell 1:15 PM @JoeMcVeigh Hi Joe! Great to see you! I end up correcting a lot of it so it becomes more time consuming for me #ELTChat
OUPELTGlobal 1:15 PM I usually try to focus on priorities. These help me make decisions throughout the day. #eltchat
teflgeek 1:15 PM anyone else follow the 50% planning rule? #eltchat
worldteacher 1:15 PM @kevchanwow Same here! Spend a lot of time reacting to last minute changes & all my pre-planning goes out of the window! #eltchat
rliberni 1:15 PM RT @esolcourses: @worldteacher then once again, focus on quality/usefulness... bookmark collections of links, rather than individual ones. #eltchat
theteacherjames 1:16 PM @Senicko Yes, I do a similar thing with time, between these hours I'm working. More or less. #ELTChat
Senicko 1:16 PM RT @Senicko: @OUPELTGlobal exactly! I'm pretty strict about it. #ELTChat
esolcourses 1:16 PM @rliberni LOL! Sue - can do.  Remind me after Easter :-) #ELTchat
rliberni 1:16 PM @esolcourses @OUPELTGlobal  sometimes everything seems a priority! #eltchat

BobK99 1:16 PM #ELTChat One of my PGCE tutors said allow time for 'sword-sharpening'; if you know about the tech a/v, you can do more/more quickly

SugarJo 1:16 PM My carefully planned intervention into the time management  #ELTChat is leaving me stressed....arrrgggh I forgot how fast it is!!!
theteacherjames 1:16 PM @kevchanwow @michaelegriffin Nice acronym! We all need a UNH! #ELTchat
Dave_Ferguson 1:16 PM @JoeMcVeigh ...but it does require some patience and retraining. E.g., gotta learn move-cursor controls. #eltchat
rliberni 1:16 PM RT @esolcourses: RT @OUPELTGlobal: I usually try to focus on priorities. These help me make decisions throughout the day. #eltchat

Senicko 1:17 PM @theteacherjames #ELTChat otherwise you have no control.
teflgeek 1:17 PM @rapple18 Maximum of 50% of class time spent on planning.  So if lesson is 60m, only spend 30m planning/prepping #eltchat
theteacherjames 1:17 PM RT @josepopoff: Teachers are multitaskers by nature; that should be a class in grad school: Multitasking I & II  #ELTChat
worldteacher 1:18 PM @kevchanwow Yes!! Do you work in Vietnam, too?! :-) #eltchat
