The Marigold Force Podcast

Welcome to 6 Steps To A Killer Workflow - Part 2. We are the Marigold Force.

Teachers- Do you wish you could feel “done” working for the day? You know... empty inbox, lessons prepared for tomorrow, student work graded, and the duty day hasn’t officially ended yet. That dreamy scenario is possible.

Today we’re working through “6 Steps To A Killer Workflow” - steps 3 and 4.  Last week we covered steps 1 & 2, so if you’re a newbie to the podcast you should go back to S2E19. You don’t want to get started on step 3 if you don’t have the solid foundation of steps 1 and 2.

This isn’t a quick fix or something that will completely transform your teaching experience tomorrow. With all Marigold Force frameworks and strategies - the intentional effort is necessary. We will break it down into extremely manageable pieces, but you need to put in the work. It’s incredibly worth it if you do.

Let’s jump into Steps 3 and 4 - mapping out your day and focusing on one thing at a time.

Welcome to 6 Steps To A Killer Workflow - Part 1. We are the Marigold Force.

What are the top 3 things you wish you could change about your teaching job? We would bet some serious money that more time is somewhere on your list. If it was, you’re in the right place.

We have been crafting and refining our own workflows for years. Workflows packed with the most important things and workflows that drop the unnecessary baggage. We put together a framework to help you create your own and hopefully stop all that sprinting around. Heck, you may even feel “done” with work at the end of the day. Imagine that!

Welcome to today’s episode! 6 Steps To A Killer Workflow. This is part 1 of a 3-part series. Today we’ll be focusing on the first 2 steps - knowing what is important to you (and why!) and listing out all your work tasks (and how long they take!).  We’ll be going nice and slow with lots of examples, so you can intentionally put each step into place without feeling overwhelmed.

Welcome to 5 Things Teachers Have Permission For. We are the Marigold Force.

How teachers are seen by society can shift in the blink of an eye. We can be viewed as superheroes doing the impossible. Other times we’re viewed as the root cause of all the problems in the world. Many seem to think, we hold all the power and make all the decisions, and when bad things happen it’s on us. In reality, the majority of decisions are thrust upon us with little to no input from teachers, but we’re on the front lines taking the punches for these decisions.

Unfortunately, society’s expectations of us aren’t going away. The same demands will continue to knock at our door- although we would all love a shift in our education system. What we do with those expectations and demands we can control. In this episode, Jessie and Joel compiled a list we all need to hear and come back to again and again. Dear teachers, here are: 5 Things You Have Permission For. Let’s do this!

Teachers, you have permission...

When you hear someone talking about “habits” does your stomach drop and you get ready to run in the other direction?

Welcome to 3 Simple Ways for Teachers to Crush New Habits (Pt. 1). We are the Marigold Force.

We’ve recognized that we need a change. We’ve set the goal and made a commitment to start building this new habit. For a few days, maybe even a week we do really well! But then something always gets in the way. Life gets busy. We mess up and never start again. It seems like an impossible task to actually make this thing a habit, and we give up and move on. Sound familiar? Well, you’re in good company because everyone has struggled with kicking bad habits or starting new habits at some point.

Teachers, let’s start crushing some new habits - or putting into practice the habits that we have been wanting to put into practice.

Today, we are talking about essential lesson #1: Start incredibly small with new habits - so small that it’s near impossible not to do it.

In this episode, Jessie and Joel share their stories around crushing new habits and what BJ Fogg, Ph.D. calls the Anatomy of Tiny Habits®.
