Have you ever heard the phrase “Your work will still be there tomorrow?” Or maybe you’ve seen memes from teachers online about how they walk away from work all weekend because they know the piles of paper will still be sitting there on Monday?

This really bothers me. 

It’s good to clock out and walk away from work. It really is. But, this messaging that I’m seeing online is that you should walk away, even if you didn’t really finish your job for the week. To me, all that will do for you is double your workload the next time you have a work day. And what good does that do? You’ll be behind before a new week has even begun!

We want the best of both worlds. We want our weekends off, AND we want to be caught up. 

The good news? It’s possible (and totally manageable) to have both! I want to share with you all today the routines I practice to keep me on top of my to-do list each week!
