I carry one journal around with me while I'm at school or in meetings. I'm usually carrying lots of things, but this is the one piece I always try to have with me. This journal is a place where I can jot down things that come to mind or things that I learn while at professional development.
In my opinion, the best part of this journal is the first section. I draw a calendar for each month and I use it to jot down prayers. This way when a prayer comes to mind throughout the day, I have a place to write it down immediately. This reminds me to pray for it right then or even again later on. I will write down prayers for students or things in my personal life. Either way, it's right there for me.
I know I could be a little more high class with an actual calendar or planner, but I like that it's right there with the other things I use everyday.
I made fancy dividers for Birthdays (I like to write down ideas I have for friends' and family members' birthdays), Ideas (these are school/teaching ideas), and Websites (this is a place to take notes of apps or websites when someone tells me about a new one).
So I know this isn't totally school related, but it's something that I use each school day so I thought I would share.
