10 Being Overworked by Losing the Main Thing

When you go into teaching, you get a bunch of stuff dumped on your shoulders. In this episode, I’m here to help you keep the main thing, well… the main thing.

It's not like you signed up for it—you were trying to teach and help kids learn, but other people started saying, "if you don't do this, no one else will." So now there are a million things you must take care of, and none seem in your job description. And then they tell you that you aren't an effective or caring teacher if you don't get all these things done! Spoiler alert: that is manipulation.

The result is usually stressed-out teachers who don't feel like they are doing their job right. But here's the thing: It doesn't have to be that way! You can focus on being the best teacher possible instead of feeling overwhelmed by all the responsibilities others have put on your plate.

What if there was a way so that sacrificing everything else wasn't necessary? What if there was a better way? What if there was a way that instead of being overworked by doing too much, you could be empowered by doing less?

I know how it feels. In this episode, I'll share with you powerful insight I've learned from Dr. Stephen Covey’s coined phrase, “the main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing,” to help me do just that: stay focused on my students and keep the main thing the main thing in my role as an educator.

The path to balance starts with letting go of overworking so you can stay focused on what matters most—your students! Once you can shift from the manipulation of the current school system that all problems are yours to solve and into a place where you do what you came to do, then the joy of teaching can return, and you won’t be overworking like you are now.
