In this coaching call, a 25-year veteran teacher explores why it\\u2019s taking her so long to get out the door on Friday afternoons when she\\u2019s trying to plan for the following week. Rebecca shares, \\u201cI\\u2019m a really good teacher, but with as long as I take to plan lessons, I should be one of the best in the world!\\u201d

Together, we explore ways to streamline her planning process so she\\u2019s spending less time fitting the pieces together and hunting for good activities. We also examine her Friday afternoon routines to look for ways she might be wasting time, and try to find tasks she can move to other time periods to allow her to start her weekend at a decent hour.

Rebecca\\u2019s coaching call ends with 3 actionable takeaways, one for reducing the time spent planning lessons, one for prioritizing coworker conversations without staying late, and one for re-allocating work hours to make sure she\\u2019s out the door by 4 on Fridays.
