Stationary Scavenger Hunt - Colors


Can you spot all the colors of the rainbow from where you are sitting?  Give everyone a few minutes to collect their list of colors and then compare your list.  Did you see the same items that others saw?

Look for these colors:

  • red
  • orange
  • yellow
  • green
  • blue
  • indigo
  • purple or violet

Procrastination - Change That Habit


I will admit that I am in constant battle with the urge to procrastinate and put important things off for later.  But cramming for a deadline is no fun!  Starting early and getting done on time is a much better plan.  Here are some tips that might help those of us who drag our feet about getting started on a project.

  • Get rid of the words "have to do" and replace them with "choose to do."
  • Remind yourself that you don't have to complete the project now, just get started.  Starting early turns a mountain into several smaller hills which are much easier to climb.
  • Somewhere between "perfect" and "good enough" lies your best work.  Spending too much energy on one or two details can steal precious time from the entire project.
  • Remember that you are not giving up the fun activities you might rather do right now, you are instead giving yourself time to really enjoy yourself later by getting this task out of the way. 
  • Enlist helpers if possible.  Teamwork means less work for each individual plus the camaraderie of working together.
