Well, hello there, top teachers. Today, I am your solo host, Bridget Spackman, and I am here to make

your life easier by helping you master your time, organization, and productivity as a teacher.

So being a solo host can only mean one thing, and that is that I am recording my week and the life today.

So the month of January is a really a new book review,

and this month we're looking closely at the book, Getting Things Done by David Allen.

Now, I am going to be transparent. I read this book about 12 years ago, and I can vividly remember
