I’m seeing so many of my friends going crazy at this time of year often spending way longer lesson planning than actually teaching. ย Plus add in Christmas parties, family events, shopping and baking and it seems everyone is running out of time.
Let me help fix that.
Time is the one great equalizer, it’s the one thing that you, I and Bill Gates all have in common. ย No matter where we were born, how much money or family we have, ย we all have 24 hours in one day.
The key is how we use it.
So here are my top 3 tips:
- On the teaching & preparation side of things, ย check out Margit’s Ninja Hacks to get so much done with so little time ย (she has 3 kids too!)
- If you want lesson plans, mine are all free on the website, use them. ย They’re free. ย I’ve spent 20 years with thousands of teachers to make them just for you. ย Enjoy. ย Unless, of course, you’re secretly using “lesson planning time” as an excuse to not do something else. ๐ ย Ninja Tip: ย Practice each lesson in front of the mirror each evening, that’s the best way to prepare!
- Or if you want to see how I manage to get so much done, with so many millions of students, then this is how I do it.
This time of year is the most fun time of all, ย and especially for all of you who have families, they’ll never be this age again.
So put down the “I have to do everything myself” and get with the pros. ย We all help each other. ย And we’re here to help you.
Spend your time on what is important.
And enjoy the season!
Be genki,
Richard
