MONDAY MATTERS with Jen Schwanke and Will Parker – Less is More

from Principal Matters: The School Leader's Podcast with William D. Parker

Principals often juggle a multitude of tasks and responsibilities, and they are constantly being asked to add more to their plate. Sometimes, you have to say “no” to say “yes” to something else. This week on Monday Matters, Will Parker and Jen Schwanke discuss the never-ending todo lists that many principals face. They talk about figuring out what to say “yes” to and what to say “no” to, thoughtfully cutting out tasks, and letting go of the things that you can’t control. The truth of the matter is that it is impossible for principals to keep adding tasks; at a certain point you will cease being productive. If saying “yes” to everything that is asked of you is something that you struggle with, this episode is the one for you.  This episode was inspired by a post from Jen Schwanke’s newsletter, “Principal Problems with Dr. Jen”.
