Teaching to the TOP

056. How To Do More With Less


Listen Later

Have you been on a purging kick as much as we have? If not, we want to tell WHY you should jump on this train with us and give you some starting points on where to start. 

We have all either been, or seen a teacher who carries their “life” with them. You all know what we mean, the dreaded “teacher” bags that have every resource you need. It’s that bag that you end up packing up at the end of the day but never doing anything with it. 

So why get away from having so much stuff? Compare your bags to the idea of stress or weight that you are carrying, metaphorically. This is stress that you are taking with you back and forth from home and school. You are not able to escape it and therefore you have a constant reminder of the tasks you feel as though you should be doing instead of unwinding after a long day. 

The good news is that operating with less stuff is possible and in fact it allows you to be more creative and even DO MORE. Yup, we said it. You can do more with less!

In this episode we share:

  • Why it’s important to minimize in order to feel less stressed. 
  • How to begin minimizing what you are using.
  • How less items can help build the separation from home and work. 
  • What more “stuff” is teaching our students. 
  • How more stuff is affecting our mental health.
