What feels better than a day in which all of your to-dos are crossed off the list?The rare experience of “getting it all done” is empowering, thrilling, and deeply satisfying on all levels.But for every day that we rule time, we undoubtedly log twice as many days in which we feel the pressure of deadlines, standing commitments, confused priorities, and constant distractions that leave us overwhelmed and ineffective.For teachers, time management can be especially challenging when you’re dealing with grading, lesson planning, and all the meetings (and all the things to catch up on that have been waiting since the semester started).So what can be done about it?Follow these three time management tips for teachers to get more done – and actually enjoy it. First, you must understand:How you spend your time depends entirely on how you relate to it on a personal and philosophical level. You may not know it yet, but the theories and misconceptions you have about time show up in your days like booby traps, clamping you down and keeping you stuck, frustrated, and unproductive.Here are some common time management misconceptions. See if you can’t spot your own version, at home or in the classroom:Booby Trap #1: "This will only take a minute."We sit down to write an email, plan a lesson, or sort through the mail, and suddenly an hour and a half has gone by.Why do we persist in misjudging how long something will take? Maybe because we wish it were different.Regardless, wishing it does not make it so; it only prolongs the acceptance of reality. Try This Instead: Set a timer for everything you plan to do, and stop when the timer goes off (think "pencils down" in an exam).Get used to working within the truth about what can get done in, say, a 30 minute increment. If you stick to this, very quickly you will learn how to plan and set expectations realistically.As a bonus, you will become more efficient and focused, because deadlines just have a way of making that happen, no matter what!As an added bonus, your confidence will increase because you will impress yourself by how quickly you can actually work and how much you can get done when you set your mind to it. Booby Trap # 2: "I have to say yes."Another big mistake we make with time is thinking we have to say "yes" to others.We even think we know what will happen if we don't...
