544 - Back to School Summit: Teachers Put your Oxygen Mask on First with Angela Watson

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In today’s special Back to School Summit episode, I’m pleased to welcome Angela Watson back to the Organize 365® podcast! Angela has been on the podcast multiple times now. Angela spent 11 years as a classroom teacher and then created a truly life-changing course for Teachers called the 40-Hour Teacher Workweek. She’s also the host of her own podcast, Truth for Teachers.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We hope all the teachers out there will listen to this episode as it is a hug from Angela and I to you! We understand better than most that teachers LOVE to teach. It’s a calling as much as it is a profession.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Even if you’re not a teacher, this episode is for you! Angela and I dive into planning and have lots of inspiration and tips to share about how to make the most of your days. We discuss how a really good plan actually frees you up to be more creative. Planning doesn’t box you in. It helps you maximize your time, but you have to find a planning system that works for you.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Planning isn’t one-size fits all. Angela and I encourage you through this podcast to listen and learn from many people when it comes to creating a planning system for yourself. Take what works for you and adapt it to your own planning system. Then maintain your planning. Angela has a great analogy for how planning is like gardening. You don’t just plant your seeds then you’re done. You have to keep checking them, watering them, figure out what’s not working and make adjustments. I guess it’s true that life’s a garden!</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Listen in and learn how you can plan in the most worthwhile way for you. Learn to plan this summer so you will be ready to run when the most productive 10 weeks of the year come around this fall (from Labor Day until the second week of November).</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">What can you do this summer that will help you run fart
