0:00.0 | Well, hello there, top teachers. We are your host, Bridget Spackman and Michelle Emerson, and we are here to make |
0:06.5 | your life easier by helping you master your time, organization, and productivity as a teacher. |
0:12.5 | Raise your hand if you have a habit of procrastinating. Yep, my hand is up. Procrastination is a struggle for so many. |
