Summary

What do you want your life to look like? When you look back on it all at the end, what do you want to feel like you've accomplished? How do you want to have spent your time? What will be your legacy?

Those are deep questions for sure, and most of us just don't have the time or energy to try to answer them. It's not because we don't care. We're just too tired to take a step back and try to figure out a better way. And yet, getting clear on what matters to you could change everything about the way you use your time and where you focus your energy.

Even though "there's no tired like teacher tired," a few changes in your mindset and habits can totally transform that. I created a free challenge called "Goodbye, Teacher Tired" with five of the most important things you can do to stop feeling tired all of the time and maximize your time, and energy and focus.

Listen in to get a summary of the five steps covered in the challenge. You can sign up for the challenge and participate in the discussion by visiting the original post here.

0:00.0	Welcome to episode 115 of Angela Watson's Truth for Teachers.
0:06.0	I'm your host Angela Watson and I'm here to speak life, encouragement, and truth
0:12.0	into the minds and hearts of educators and get you energized
0:15.2	for the week ahead. Today I'm wrapping up season six of the podcast with a five day
0:20.6	challenge to help you say goodbye to teacher tired by doing fewer things better.
0:26.3	Visit truth for teachers.com to get a transcript of this episode or to sign up for the challenge.
0:33.0	So this episode has been kind of difficult for me to put together for you
0:38.0	because it's the last one of the season.
0:40.0	And that means it's the last message that you're going to hear from me for a couple of months.
0:45.0	If you're new to the podcast, I take breaks twice a year so that I can focus on other projects.
0:50.0	Each podcast episode takes me between five and 15 hours to produce, not to mention the time that my team puts into,
0:58.0	I'm adjusting the audio and creating images and editing the blog post, it's a ton of work.
1:03.5	So I like to batch that work and focus on that exclusively
1:07.4	for a couple of months and then clear space
1:09.8	in my schedule to focus on other things. So because I know that I won't be back with another
1:14.6	podcast episode until late January, I want to make sure that I'm leaving you with a
1:19.6	message that's really impactful. I spent a lot of time thinking about what I wanted you to
1:26.0	think about as the holidays approach and the most important things for you to
1:30.0	stay focused on. And I guess what I want you to know as you're listening to this is that your life is so, so valuable.
1:42.3	It's short and it's precious. And whether you're doing it
1:46.3	intentionally or not, you are leaving a legacy behind you. The impact that you're making every single day on the kids and the people in your community
1:56.5	are shaping what our world will be like next week, next month, next year, ten years from now, and even beyond that.
