There are 5 overarching principles that can help you streamline and simplify your workload so that you feel less overwhelmed.

I call these principles \\u201cThe Big 5 Tips for Teacher Productivity\\u201d, and I\\u2019ve woven them all throughout the 40 Hour Teacher Workweek program (both the Full Year version that kicks off each summer as well as the self-paced Fast Track version, which you can begin any time).

I\\u2019ve invited Amy Stohs, a member of the 40 Hour team, to share what the \\u201cBig 5\\u201d looks like in her daily teaching practice, and I love her unique spin on these time-tested ideas:

1. Eliminate unintentional breaks
2. Figure out the main thing and do it first
3. Work ahead by batching and avoid multi-tasking unless the work is mindless.
4. Relax any of your standards that create unnecessary work to a level that no one else will notice but you.
5. Use scheduling to create boundaries around your time.

Amy shares specific, actionable steps she\\u2019s taken for each of these principles to help her regain control of her time and get more done with less effort.
