EP: 2 Is burnout just about workload?

In this episode, I explore the challenges teachers face in managing their workload while maintaining productivity and well-being. I delve into the realities of school life, where teachers often find themselves overwhelmed by marking, data management, administrative tasks, planning, and behavior management. 

I discuss how poor boundaries between work and home life can lead to a feeling of being constantly consumed by school responsibilities, leaving little space for personal thoughts and creativity. Additionally, I address the detrimental effects of self-doubt and people-pleasing behaviors on teachers' mental health and overall well-being.

Throughout the episode, I share personal anecdotes and practical strategies for managing workload and increasing productivity. I emphasize the importance of developing healthy habits, such as prioritizing tasks based on urgency and importance, and tackling the most challenging tasks first. 

I also encourage teachers to take regular breaks to recharge and avoid burnout, as well as to practice assertiveness in setting boundaries and saying no when necessary. By prioritizing self-care and implementing effective time management strategies, teachers can reduce stress, increase productivity, and improve their overall well-being.
