So many directors and owners come to me and tell me they are so overwhelmed or that they are working 12 hour days because they have too long to-do lists or because they are wearing too many hats in their school. It DOESN'T have to be that way. Today I discussed: 3 Myths of the school leaders time “I always need to be available” "I’m the only one who can do this job well” "I use my time well - there just isn’t enough time in the day” Block and Tackle method - a powerful strategy to ensure you don’t get interrupted.
