Fridays tend to be decent days. Not just because I just have to make it to the end for a break, but also because I tend to give tests or quizzes, which makes class time go quicker. With a short week, though, it is harder to quiz on just two lessons, but for the most part it looked like it worked. I might start giving a quiz every two lessons or so, while things are fresh in the minds.
Then, not sure what got into me, but when I got home I started grading papers, and am more than halfway through things before the weekend "officially" starts. It takes a load off my mind and I am sure I will work easier and more relaxed to prepare for the coming week.
Setting small goals should help a bit to keep me sane. Improve this one area, get this small thing done quicker, change the way I do something. If it doesn't work out, I can change back, but I will have the experience of knowing that a minor failure is not the end of the world, or a reflection of me as a failure - and that small improvements can add up. Just need that motivation.
