Take a few minutes today and brainstorm ways you can be more efficient at home and at school.
𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹 – Do you have monthly and yearly outlines of what you need to accomplish in your classroom? Can you batch routine tasks? Can you delegate some simple routine tasks to volunteers, student helpers, or family members? Are your bulletin boards planned out? Do you have artistic students that would enjoy helping? YOU do not have to do it all.
𝗛𝗼𝗺𝗲 – Would it help you to cook meals on the weekend and reheat during the week? Do you need to come up with some more slow cooker recipes so supper is done when you get home? Do you just need to make a weekly menu and go to the store once a week instead of running by every day? Do you need to work out some car pooling arrangements to help get your kids to music rehearsals or sports practices?
Remember, this is suppose to help things run smoother for you not create more work. The word of the day is EFFICIENT.
P.S. Don’t forget to keep up with your school work during break. You want to be completely done before break ends. NO school work on the last day of break.
Procrastination feeds teacher burnout. No procrastination allowed.
