0:00.0	Well, hello there, top teachers. We are your hosts, Michelle Emerson and Bridget Spackman, and we are here to make
0:06.7	your life easier by helping you master your time, organization, and productivity as a teacher.
0:12.6	Today, it is Bridget's turn to answer my questions. In the words of Michael Scott,
0:17.9	oh, how the turn tables. Oh.
0:22.0	That's the whole quote.
0:29.8	In this episode, I'm going to ask Bridget 25 rapid fire questions related to time management,
0:31.5	organization, and productivity.
0:33.1	Obviously, three of our favorite things.
0:38.8	So hopefully for me to prolong this as much as possible, I'm going to do a TSA from Emily Maddo.

1:34.0	for how I plan my lessons. Once you have a system, you can stick to it each time and then you
1:39.3	know that from start to finish, the lesson will actually get planned. Yeah, I feel like I like to blame social
1:44.9	media for part of this because that's part of my problem. I feel like every time I get on
1:50.2	social media, I see something shiny and I get distracted from the real purpose that I am originally
1:56.2	kind of have for the summer. So I start adding more things and more things onto my plate. And before I know
