It's Always About Time

Welcome to The Inspired Teacher Podcast! Today, I'm reflecting on how my relationship with time has changed—from lingering in hallways with friends to rushing through the day just to get home. Inspired by Oliver Burkeman's Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals, I explore the idea that time is a network good—something that gains value when shared with others. In my effort to be productive, I had unintentionally cut myself off from the connection and joy that come from community. This episode is a reminder that sometimes the most meaningful use of our time as teachers is simply spending it together.
