113. The Reality of Work-Life Balance for Teachers: How to Stop Drowning in Your To-Do List

The Resilient Teacher Podcast

Work-life balance, what does it really mean for teachers? Truly disconnecting from work once the school day is done is incredibly challenging for many teachers. We have so much on our to do lists at school and at home. It often feels like we’re in a constant state of overwhelm and like we are just trying to keep our heads above water.

I’ve been that overwhelmed teacher without a good work-life balance so in today’s episode, I am giving you real-life, actionable strategies for helping you ditch the overwhelm and leave work at work. I’m sharing why you shouldn’t try to check off everything on your to do list, how to prioritize your tasks, why you shouldn’t always be available, and the importance of knowing that good enough is enough.
