  • “I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity.”
  • Letter to George Washington Eveleth, 1846
  • ​  Yeah, buddy, I hear you.  This quote has always resonated with me.  I think I finally know why.   

When I think, I think big and in many directions at once.  

Just like the quote, I succumb to periods of insanity when I create lessons, presentations, and all the artifacts of my professional life.  The other times, I feel horribly and boringly SANE.   In my life,  these "sane" times would be the hours I spend planning out the steps of each project I do.  The "sanity" bookends the whirlwind and passionate creation flows.  ​

Think that sounds like a mental health issue? (bi-polar much?) I would partially agree. Although I do come from a long line of psychosis, this issue in my life seems extremely manageable.  So, like people with autism or other brain functioning spectrums, I just consider this part of my process.  It's all about the self-love, right?  

One low tech solution that has worked this year has been card stock.  

I got it at the beginning of the year with my supply money and I have to say, it has really paid off.  The stiffer paper makes it easier to carry and more durable than regular paper.   I can also cut it out and put it my journal.  Gotta say, it as a bit game changing as I can keep the same five pieces of paper on my desk for about a month before they are completely used up.
