Most people have a to do list, and if you take the time to make the list long and inclusive, you'll never be at a loss of something to do.
The best part about a long list that extends into the future is that you can match your energy and emotion to a task that matches.
For example, this morning I woke up early as I was a bit worried about a teaching event that required a lot of planning. After I attended to that, I had an hour left. I simply looked at the list and was able to knock off a few tasks that would be arduous later in the month. This morning I had the perfect energy and time to complete those tasks.
A running to do list serves educators well since our jobs are filled with so many tasks. Trying to stay ahead of the list also helps. Onward.
