Episode 8: I Don’t Work Late and I Don’t Work Weekends: Here’s How
Working more hours is not the answer. In this episode I talk through how I protect my evenings and weekends, and the admin and planning systems that stop work creeping into every spare hour. Honest, specific, and practical.
In this episode:
Why most time management advice doesn't account for the reality of a teaching week
The difference between being busy and being productive as a self-employed teacher
How to design your teaching schedule around your energy, not just your availability
Admin tasks that expand to fill available time, and how to contain them
The systems that have given me back real hours in the week
Four objections that keep teachers stuck, and honest reframes for each one
