  Case: Overwhelmed
As a new teacher, I am overwhelmed with duties and mandates. I am so tired by the end of the day that I find myself having to work on the weekend to catch up. What do you teachers do to make sure everything is done. I see so many teachers leaving exactly at 345 and I wonder how they are able to do so.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Although this is only my second year teaching, I was extremely overwhelmed first semester. This semester, I started a weekly schedule that has spread the workload out.
Monday- grade papers
Tuesday- planning
Wednesday- organization/paperwork
Thursday- create anchor charts/complete additional paperwork
Friday- GO HOME WITHOUT ANY WORK!!!

Comments: this is a great solution. it is so important as teachers to use our time wisely and make sure that we are devoting enough time during the week to planning and preparing so we have some down time on the weekend to have a personal life.
