Summary

We can learn lessons from all areas of our lives. The connections you can make from your hobbies, personal lives, and travels can make a big impact with your productivity and how you create a better work-life balance. These lessons that we learn are often caused when we have a big undertaking and need to adapt (e.g. getting married, having kids, starting a big project). When you make the choice to begin these tasks, you have to find ways to make everything else work and feel balanced (if that is even possible). This is the exact thing that happened to us when we worked to create this podcast. We made sacrifices in the beginning and we had to learn the systems and routines that would help us keep our sanity. We learned so much from starting our podcast, and while we are not telling you to head out and start you own podcast (more power to you if you do!), we do want to share some of the biggest lessons we learned. In this episode you will hear: How defining what is important will help you in creating a path to make it happen! Why you need to find the right things to do versus trying to do all the things. Why the systems you create are going to be your saving grace! EPISODE MENTIONED: Episode 149. Behind the Scenes: Our Favorite Reminders to Overcome Obstacles Episode 140.

0:00.0	Well, hello there, top teachers. We are your host, Michelle Emerson and Bridget Spackman, and we are here to make
0:06.7	your life easier by helping you master your time, organization, and productivity as a teacher.
0:12.0	We, and we refers to Bridget and I, chat a lot about how many parallels exist between teaching
0:18.8	and our podcast and even just life in general. And today, we are going
0:24.7	to be kind of highlighting those parallels and sharing the biggest lessons that this podcast has taught
0:30.1	us about productivity. And we promise they're going to help you both in teaching and in your
0:35.8	general life. But before that, let's hear a TSAH from
0:39.5	Mary. Mary says, my TSA is and has always been socializing with fellow teachers. I enjoy the people I work
0:48.5	with. However, I find I get sucked into conversations and can seem to get away without feeling and can't seem to
0:55.5	get away without feeling rude. I've tried to stay in my classroom, but then the party comes to me,
1:02.1	and it makes moving on even more difficult. How do I set boundaries without offending others or
1:08.3	appearing unsocial? I love she said party.
1:12.6	Yeah, because we all know exactly what she means.
1:15.2	Yes.
1:16.1	Well, first of all, the first thing that came to my mind was that song, I don't know who
1:20.8	it's by, maybe like Billy Eilish or something, but it goes, I can't relate to you.
1:25.8	Now, when I think that, it's only because I'm not overly social.
1:29.6	I'm like very much antisocial. And I love that she said appearing unsocial. I've just accepted
1:35.9	that that is my life and I'm okay with it. However, I have struggled with the whole getting
1:41.6	caught up in conversations, especially as I did get closer
1:44.5	with some of my coworkers. I would have that quote unquote party come to my room. And I am very much
1:50.9	the one that struggles with offending people. Billy and I, we joke because when we, I say when we go to
