New Year came but I was not here much to wish all the users a Very Happy New Year. I have new plans and new strategies. Things on my end kept me a lot busy in the last two weeks of December and few days into new year. And I could not catch up much here and I really missed it whenever I got some time to breath and think about it.
A lot has happened and there is a lot to share and I will do it later.
Today I squeezed out some time to be online and juggle between the two sites MyLot and Forum Coin. I have answered most of my notifications and will answer a few left ones in the night before bed. Sorry I could not catch up with the latest discussions and hope to do so in the night.
Well, I am getting ready to go for my first workshop of the year. And it is a new batch of teachers and parents to start with. And there are few new things in this workshop. It is for the first time that my 20 hours of workshop ( 10 sessions of 2 hours each) has been converted to 5 sessions of 4 hours each with a 15 minutes break in between. SO for the first time I am going to talk for 4 hours in a row....I am not sure if this change will be so effective but for sure I am going to be dead tired by the end of it. So I will talking from 3PM to 7PM today to a set of 20 people.
I had to make a lot of changes in my regular activities and talk to make it suitable and sustainable for 4 hours and not to miss out anything....to keep it interactive and interesting.
So I am off to my first workshop of this year with the first time experience of few things. I am excited but a little unsure of this new experiment with timings work.
Wish me luck.
Catch you all later.

I was happy with the outcome. It was a good learning Judy and surprisingly the session caught attention till end and didn't loose it's momentum. I am happy that I prepared well and kept activities and interaction interspersed between the talk. It was a wonderful group. Though I was too tired at the end of four hours.

@arunima25 You would need to switch between interaction, activities and talk to keep them attending to you. Well done. Good preparation is the key I think.
