Back to School Organization
Are you looking for all things to help with your back to school organization? Well depending on what month you are reading this post your answer might be different. It depends on what kind of teacher you are; some of us teachers like to take a break during the summer and just start researching new back to school ideas a week or two before back to school time. Then there are other teachers, like me, that spend most of our summer searching for new ideas to implement in our classroom.
There are a countless number of blogs that are showing you back to school organizational tips. Lots of blogs that focus on how to organize your classroom. What are these blogs missing? Well, they are missing how to organize your life!
I am going to give you tips on back to school organization for yourself.
Focusing on ways you can organize your time during the school day to get back your time with your family.
If you are interested in how to stop taking home your work at nights and on the weekends, so that you can have family time, then keep reading.
Let’s talk about how you feel!
Are you one of those teachers that feel burnt out? Are you wondering why you chose to be a teacher? Have you actually considered quitting teaching? Well, stop right here. I want to help you change the way you feel.. WHY?… well because I have been there.
I was only a few years in and couldn’t figure out how to do it all. How do I stay organized? I am having trouble constantly keeping in touch with parents! How do I keep up with all of this paperwork? Why am I spending my nights doing schoolwork when I have already worked a 10-hour workday?
I would find myself jealous of other professions because they get to leave their work at work. They do not have to worry about a parent emailing or texting you at night. Which then could potentially ruin the rest of your night because you can’t stop worrying about it.
Yes, I have been there…. there is a way to feel happy, there is a way to take away some of that stress, more than anything there is a way to stop taking your work home and have nights and weekends back with your family.

How can changing your mindset change your life?
With anything we do in life we realize that we have to change the way we think about things. You could listen to any podcast or read motivational quotes that inspire you, but without implementing and trying new ways to do things it will be very challenging to change your mindset.
It really takes you and whatever motivates you to help you make a change in your life for the better. Sometimes you need to just dive right into something and try it because if you think about it too long, you will talk yourself out of it.
Also, it’s back to school time, so why not try out something new? Why not try to make a change in your life? Especially if there is any way it could possibly get you more time with your family?
