The older that we get, the more we wish would have started certain things sooner. Like putting on that under eye cream to help prevent wrinkles or saving for retirement sooner. Just like in our everyday lives, we even have things we wish would have made sooner as teachers. We are sharing the 4 BIG organizational decisions that we wish we would have made sooner. Hopefully by us sharing these decisions, you might have an earlier start than we did or maybe even reconsider what you have been doing for years and finally make the switch! 4 BIG ORGANIZATIONAL DECISIONS [3:42] Organizational Decision #1: Containers [10:10] Organizational Decision #2: Anchor Charts [16:34] Organizational Decision #3: Going Digital [23:46] Organizational Decision #4: Logging Materials CONCLUSION There will always be those decisions that we wish we would have made sooner. The important piece is that we don’t dwell on the past but instead look to the future and begin making those changes. Hopefully, sharing our decisions will help to shed some light on how you can improve what you are already doing or you’ve gotten a little bit of inspiration on something you never thought about doing before.

0:05.8	your life easier by helping you master your time, organization, and productivity as a teacher.
0:11.8	You know, I feel like we've all made really big decisions in our lives. And those decisions typically
0:17.9	impact us in really, really big ways. Well, today we're going to be sharing
0:22.0	four big organizational decisions that we wish we would have made sooner as teachers. These are
