As we head into the new school year, I want you to begin thinking about a sustainable workload. During your first 6 weeks of the school year, you\u2019ll likely be putting in longer hours as you get organized, acclimatized, and settle into the shape of your work this year.<\/p>\n

But I don\u2019t want you to just work until everything is done \u2014 because it\u2019s never all going to be done, which means you\u2019re always either going to be working or feel like you should be working.<\/p>\n

Instead, I\u2019m going to teach a principle I share in the 40 Hour Workweek programs<\/a> I run for teachers<\/a>, instructional coaches<\/a>, and school leaders<\/a>: it’s the Target Number Planner.<\/p>\n

You can create a schedule in which you determine, at the start of the week, how much time you\u2019re willing to spend on school stuff, and how you\u2019re going to allocate those hours.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

No more showing up at school and staying until all the work is done. You\u2019re going to take control of your schedule and fit work into your life instead of life into your work.<\/p>\n
