Here's
the "Monday Motivator" that Friederike sent from the National Center for Faculty Development & Diversity.

The Weekly Challenge
This week, I challenge each of you to:
- Create a list of your writing goals (and the tasks necessary to complete them) for the Spring semester.
- If you are resistant to this task, gently ask yourself "why?"
- Map the writing projects you need to accomplish onto each week of the semester.
- Go through your calendar and block out 30-60 minutes at the beginning of each week day for "writing time."
- If you don’t have a calendar, stop reading this and go get one.
- Write every day this week for 30-60 minutes (just try it!)
- If you're not clear how to create your semester plan, join us this Tuesday for a live Every
Semester Needs A Plan tele-workshop where I'll walk you through each step.
- If you want to see examples, templates, and other people's plans, login to the discussion forum and go the Post
Your Semester Plan thread.
- Or better yet, POST YOUR SEMESTER PLAN in the forum. Trust me on this one, I'm going to be showing you a sweet strategy
that will enable you to align your time each week with your priorities during February's
training workshop, but it will only work if you have a semester plan that you can quickly and easily access each week.
Peace & Productivity,
