Despite going into teaching to “teach”, it turns out a large amount of your job is responding to emails. This can leave you feeling switched “on” beyond your time each day in the classroom. This makes it difficult to escape teaching when you are seeking a happy work-life balance.

What you will learn in this episode:

• The negative impact multitasking can have on your productivity
• The habit loops that form when you have email notifications switched on
• The positive impact reducing your contactability can have on your stress levels

By reducing the time you spend on your teacher emails, you’ll discover more free time, energy and focus for yourself. Take time out this week to review your notification settings so that you can feel in control of your focus again.
