"I was born at night, but not last night."  This was one of my assistant's favorite quotes last year.  I heard her say it multiple times.  Well, today I am saying it - only I need to change it and say that I must HAVE been born last night.  I just learned something today that made me go "well duh, why hadn't I thought of that before".  
Marking through my originals with a highlighter.  I know I have lost an original 
or two  and I know that I have accidentally given students my originals {{while keeping a student copy instead}}.  But no more!!! I plan on forever giving my originals a slash of yellow highlighter. The highlighter won't show up on the copies and I will now be able to keep track of all my belongings!  
I can't believe after 7 years of teaching that I am just now learning this little trick.
OMG! Duh! I have NEVER thought of doing that! I usually wind up losing my original and printing another then finding the first original later!

Some highlighters do show up. I started a few years ago highlighting across the very top of the paper. I love it!
