I threw out three lesson plan books. These are large spiral bound books that we teachers write our daily plans upon to keep our thoughts straight. I'm now typing plans into an on-line program that I keep pulled up on an iPad at my desk. Keeping the old plan books was a safety net of sorts. I knew if I ever had brain freeze, I could look back and see my ideas from the past. Rarely did that ever happen (the looking back, I mean…the brain freeze still occurs with alarming frequency!)
Not everyone keeps lesson plan books, but we often keep lists, pocket calendars or organizers from the past. Is there anything like that you're saving for a "reference" that you've never referred to? Think about throwing it away.
