I try to study at the same time each day. This helps me set a routine I can stay with. When that time comes, I know it is time to study. I try not to schedule any other things at that time.

Hold on to Thank You Notes
Maintain a folder in which to keep anything that is complimentary from your students and their parents. As you know, there will be times when you wonder if what you are doing is worthwhile. It will help to go through the compliments whenever you have this feeling.
Transition from recess or PE
Some students become overly excited and even hyperactive following recess or PE. Follow the physical activity with a brief quiet time (five to ten minutes) in which the students listen to calming music. You can also do this after a test or a long period of seat work. Doing this can also have the positive by-product of developing your students' appreciation for music.
