218. 3 Things to Stop Doing This Semester

I’ve sat through a lot of professional development over the years, and I don’t remember a single one that ever took something off my plate - it was always more! That’s why this episode exists: to simplify your workload by doing less of what isn’t actually serving you or your students. I share three things to consider stopping for a semester and explain why habits that feel productive often create more stress, more grading, and less meaningful learning. We also talk boundaries and time protection so you can test what happens when you finally take something off your plate!➡️ Show Notes: https://itsnotrocketscienceclassroom.com/episode218Resources:Winter science freebiesSSS Virtual PD Course Bundle Core Values Mini-CourseDownload your FREE Classroom Reset Challenge.Take the Free Labs When Limited virtual PD courseSend me a DM on Instagram: @its.not.rocket.scienceSend me an email: [email protected]  Follow, rate, and review on Apple Podcasts.Follow, rate, and comment on Spotify.Related Episodes:Episode 77, 5 Myths You Might Believe About Your Work EmailEpisode 96, Why I Stopped Assigning Homework (And 6 Surprising Results)Episode 116, Behind Schedule?
