The idea of doing something for ME every day seems to be pretty selfish; yet, it seems that all my cyber-reading-writing friends are trying it! The objective is to do something for YOU every day for 50 DAYS and then write or tweet about it using the hashtag #nerdlution. The goal, I guess, is to stretch you personal habits and do those things you want to do but never find time to do. Frankly, I spend too much time reading and answering emails and blog posts! I spend too much of my precious free minutes in front of the computer! So today, on this first day of a very busy time of year, on the eve of parent teacher conferences, final grad student projects and holiday shopping, I am committing publicly to reading a non-teacher book AND / OR exercising for at least 15 minutes every day! I know that does not seem like a lot to those of you who are gym-fitness rats. In fact, I used to exercise for 20-40 minutes every day. To be honest, I have slacked off seriously and have been blogging, reading blogs, reading Twitter a whole lot more. In fact, even my reading life has suffered! But, like so many others I keep busy with work and family obligations. So there it is ..... I'm off to the treadmill! I'll let you know how this is going!
Sharing thoughts, ideas, and research about teaching, writing, and LIVING in the 21st Century.

#nerdlution begins today
