#024: How to Tame Your Teacher To Do List
TUNE IN: APPLE PODCASTS | SPOTIFY | STITCHER
Let me start by saying….
I'm the queen of lists and teacher to do lists… don't even get me started!
Seriously, I really do LOVE lists and live my life by them. It's my go-to for staying organized - checklists, to do lists, grocery lists, lists of goals and so much more. I've got lists for all kinds of things. And while I might have mental lists, more often than not, mine are written down. As one of my besties tells her kids, "I have two brain cells left and one them is busy." Yup. that's exactly how I feel so many days. So, I write things down. But, a million notes and lists don't work. It's just too easy to lose track of it all. Sticky notes only work for me as part of a larger system. Organization by sticky note reminders is never effective for me.
Trust me, I've tried THAT approach. I just find them everywhere but where they should be.
This time of year, the Teacher To Do List can become overwhelming. There's so much to accomplish at the start of the school year, and so many extra tasks get added to your teacher plate whether you want them or not. Add in all your personal tasks and goals, and it can be a recipe for disaster. That Teacher To Do List can become a mile long. When that happens, just looking at the list can be stressful and overwhelming.
Not to worry. I've got a system for that. I know… You’re shocked, right?!
