Teachers have so much work in their hands. Loaded with professional and personal concerns, it is important for them to take advantage of the effective time management principles.
Take not of these teachers:
1. Plan on paper – anything that’s unwritten is not a plan, its only an idea. If you write it down, you have a better chance of properly developing and executing your tasks.
2. Create a work center. Being organized saves you time. Clutter is your no. 1 enemy. Make sure your work space is free from distraction and arrange it so you can automatically shift to work mode when you’re there.
3. Plan for the unplanned. – Never schedule your work without allotting time for last minute emergencies that can ruin your whole schedule. Flexibility to accommodate unplanned events is essential.
4. Plan – to – plan. – Find time to reflect on what you have accomplished.
5. Develop an action plan. Develop an action plan for all your task then develop an action steps for each requirement.
6. Learn to delegate and say no. – Do only what you can do. Delegate task that can be delegated and make sure that you can say no to your friends, when you know you can’t afford to spend time doing task for them.
7. Overcome your tendency to procrastinate. – Procrastination ruins your entire schedule. Make sure you recognize your tendencies to procrastinate as you can turn away from these tendencies.
