What’s this chicken doing on Mizz C’s brand-new blog? The chicken is Mizz C’s kitchen timer. She uses it to keep cupcakes, turkeys, brownies--and her work time--from burning up.
Now Mizz C. has a horrible, embarrassing confession to make. Not so long ago, she could sometimes be an A+ Time Waster. She surfed the Internet and checked her e-mails a million times a day for no good reason.
This had to stop.
So Mizz C. started setting her chicken timer for chunks of work time. When the timer dinged, she would take a a short break to read e-mails and check out silly animal YouTube videos.
Lo and behold! The chicken timer helped Mizz C. get more work done. So she began to let her chicken timer boss her around instead of the Internet.
“Hey, maybe middle graders should use kitchen timers to get their homework done,” Mizz C. thought. And that’s how she came up with the A+ 20/10 Study Method. It’s all explained in Mizz C’s A+ Guide to Great Grades.
In the meantime, go to the kitchen. See if you can find a timer.
Or ask one of your parents to get you one instead of a new bike, video game, or trip to Disneyland.
From now on, you can keep those plug-in, screen-faced time thieves--computers television, video games, and the telephone from taking over your life.

The A+ 20/10 Study Method really works. Mizz C. used it to write today’s blog post. When the chicken timer goes off, she’ll reset it for just a few minutes to watch her favorite penguin YouTube video. It cracks her up every time.
