7 Ways to Work Less and Have More Impact
and start creating a teaching life you love!
You’re still at school long after contracted time, feeling exhausted and guilty knowing your own family is home and dinner is still not on the table.
You slide yet another stack of grading into your bag on your way out the door, knowing full well it won’t leave that spot until you take it back out at school tomorrow.
You make your way home praying someone has made something for dinner because you have ZERO energy to not only make dinner, but help with the homework your own kids have tonight?
You finally snuggle in on the couch at 8:30 hoping to connect with your spouse, but end up falling asleep at 8:35 because you have NOTHING LEFT TO GIVE, and end up waking up at 11:30 in the same spot after everyone else has gone to bed?
And you love that you are needed, but are beyond exhausted because you are being pulled in a thousand different directions at all times, while feeling like you are constantly failing at every turn.
But have no idea what you actually NEED?
No worries!

As a classroom teacher, I struggle with starting a task and not having time or energy to complete it. I find myself with five or six jobs on my to-do list that are only partially completed at the end of the day. Angie was a speaker at one of our staff professional development days. She was an organized, dynamic, and knowledgeable presenter. I implemented her idea for power hours. I am most productive and less distracted early in the morning, so I chose that time of day to get the most important thing on my checklist done. I have found that I am able to actually get tasks completed when I use power hours. -Sharron A.R.
I’ve been inspired by many of Angie’s Time Hack Strategies. She has a wonderful way of simply explaining each strategy, and they are easy to implement on the spot! My favorite is the “Evolving List.” It keeps my thoughts and to-do’s focused and manageable. This is a strategy I use daily that has truly impacted my productivity. -Cherie D.
I have been using the strategy of timing myself on certain things that may be “time wasters", but I figure if I only look at my Facebook for 10 minutes or look at my email for 20 minutes then I am not wasting the time that I did before. I have also been planning out my preps. Having a plan and an end goal helps me to stay focused and to get more things accomplished. - Gena H.
Angie's methods and time saving suggestions have been invaluable, especially during our Covid-19 crazy last year. I have used several ideas and suggestions to streamline not only my school life, but my personal life as well. -Kelly N.
I really, really love your strategy from the post about “Focus: Your Day in Chunks.” I find it so helpful to make a list of priorities, set aside chunks for each task, then focus on each priority until the time is up. Conscientiously allowing myself to set a timer and “chunk” my time and tasks has been extremely helpful for me, knowing I will accomplish parts of a specific task in those brief windows of time. - Alicia A.
I routinely use Angie’s list strategies. I now routinely put EVERYTHING down on paper and then turn it into a a revolving, categorized list. This for me has kept my teacher life and mom life to do lists- organized, separate, and functional! - Desiree H.
