111. How to Become THAT Teacher: Time Management Edition

It’s amazing how large of a role your mindset can play when building new habits. When we say things about our identity both positively or negatively it can hinder who we are trying to become. As the saying goes… if we say it often enough, we start to believe it.    Recently, there has been a trend going around on TikTok about being “THAT Girl”. It eludes that this is someone who has their life together.  She wakes up and meditates on a yoga mat facing the sun and makes her bed. She is THAT girl that everyone wants to be.  While we know this is not TikTok, we recognize that as teachers, we all know that one teacher in our buildings that we all see as THAT teacher. She has her lessons planned far in advance. She leaves right at the end of her contract hours and never seems to be frazzled or overwhelmed.  This episode is not about being perfect… we believe that there is no such thing as perfect. But it is all about making changes in order to take on a new identity and feel more like THAT teacher.  In this episode we share: Mindset shift 1: Instead of saying “I don’t have enough time” say “I always have enough time for my priorities” Mindset shift 2: Instead of saying “It’s faster/better if I just do it myself” say “I can ask for help when needed” Mindset shift 3: Instead of saying “This will just take a minute” say “I can find time to do this later” SUBMIT YOUR TIME SUCKING HURDLE!
