0:00.0	Well, hello there, top teachers. We are your hosts, Michelle Farray. And Bridget Spackman, and we are here to make
0:06.2	your life easier by helping you master your time, organization, and productivity as a teacher.
0:12.0	I love that every time you say it. We're going to jump right in. Bridget, what has been your time-sucking
