“How am I going to get all of this done?”
Once you settle into a new term, you figure out what to expect from week to week.
But occassionally there’s a week that sneaks in that isn’t quite so normal, and the stress level starts to rise.
You've ...
- agreed to substitute for two of your colleagues.
- got a conference presentation on Thursday, which happens to be your busiest teaching day.
- just noticed after going through your emails that you forgot to put a committee project deadline on your calendar … and it’s in three days.
On top of these additional responsibilities, your brain also reminds you that you have your own lessons to prepare for and classes to teach next week. One thought leads to another, and you start to feel overwhelmed.
So, how are you going to get it all done?
In today’s episode, I share five steps to help you figure out an answer to this question. Each one is practical addressing both logistics and personal wellbeing, and they don’t require a lot of time to implement.
