I've read similar lists like this before. So far, it seems that I have been pretty much able to follow this one. I do make an extra effort to give myself personal time. I learned the one about establishing classroom rules the hard way. As for spending like I did before my first paycheck..yeah, right! I had NO income before and NO bills. Now I have lots. More money coming in...and more going out...
