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!)
Lists, lists, lists! They are never ending. Make a "glass ball" list and a "rubber ball" list. Keep them separate. Rubber balls bounce. If you drop one, it's not a major deal. Glass balls break. If you drop one, you are neglecting a deadline, duty, etc. Make a goal to accomplish your "glass ball" list everyday. If time permits, work on a couple of "rubber ball" to dos. Remember, no teacher has ever said, "I'm all caught up! I have nothing to do!" Burn bright, but don't burn out. You are not the most effective when you are exhausted. |

| Comments: I have never heard of this approach but I really like it! I like to make a list of things that are most important to least important and number them, but usually something comes up and I don't get it all done and it stresses me out. Maybe I can use a two tiered list as you suggested for weekly to dos so I can just do them throughout the week and not be disappointed in myself like I usually am with my daily list! |
