   From Overwhelmed to Accomplished: The Ultimate Guide to Making the Most of Your Prep Time

   Welcome to the podcast for elementary teachers who often feel burnt out and overwhelmed! In this episode, we are going to discuss the number one way to get more done during your prep time. As teachers, we are experts at planning every moment of our students' day, but we often forget to plan our own plan time. Instead of creating endless to-do lists that can make us feel busy instead of productive, we will be using a calendar and a 6 step process to help us prioritize our tasks and accomplish more. By following this 6 step process, you can increase your productivity, decrease the number of hours you work, and still watch your students thrive. Don't forget to order the brand-new book How to Love Teaching Again by visiting notsowimpyteacher.com/book. This book is a practical guide full of strategies that will help you beat teacher burnout and rekindle your love for teaching. Thanks for listening to our podcast, and have a Not So Wimpy Day!

We’ll also talk about how to find your “why” and use it as a motivator to work towards your definition of success. Segment 3: Take Action to Achieve Your Definition of Success In the final segment, we’ll discuss how to take action to achieve your definition of success. We’ll talk about how to prioritize tasks and set boundaries with parents and administrators.
