Working with Leena and Jake, my advice was that at first, when just getting started with a student work day, schedule exam prep or papers for time outside of thse hours. Over the next few steps of the transformation we can get more advanced, and actually start carving out time within the work day for getting a lot of this done. - Cal Joyce,

Good question. Working with Leena and Jake, my advice was that at first, when just getting started with a student work day, schedule exam prep or papers for time outside of thse hours.

Over the next few steps of the transformation we can get more advanced, and actually start carving out time within the work day for getting a lot of this done.
