In this episode (which was originally an Insta live, recorded in February 2021), I chat to the lovely Bex (@pagepracticepodcast on Instagram) about workload, educational reading and research, setting boundaries and lesson planning in general. She shares some great tips about how to work smarter, not harder, and how to switch off from teaching.

As this was recorded in the middle of the Covid pandemic, we do talk about some ideas in relation to life in lockdown, but they can all be implemented in 'normal' times as well!

During the chat, we talked about a couple of different podcasts and books, including...
