    223. #GOALS Check-In: First Quarter Review of Our Goals for 2024

    Goals are a great way to make sure you are on the right track to what you want to accomplish in 2024. This year we are approaching our goals a little differently in hopes that we are more likely to stick to them and achieve them by the end of the year. 
    Now that the first quarter has wrapped up and we are headed into April, we wanted to take a moment to reflect and share if we managed to accomplish the goals that we set up in January. From there, we look at the next three months (April-June) and share our new goals!
    Grab your planners and get ready to sit down to plan with us.

    222. How to CURE Spring Fever as a Teacher

    222. How to CURE Spring Fever as a Teacher

    The birds are chirping, days are getting longer, and the leaves are beginning to fill the trees once again. Spring is officially in the air that means we are not only battling allergies but also fatigue. Spring fever is a common side effect as our bodies are beginning to adapt to the changes in weather and daylight. 
    During winter our body adopts and protects itself from lower temperatures and reduced sunlight. Longer days and warmer temperatures lead to an increase in activity but our bodies take more time to adjust the sleep-awake cycle and thus our timing is often out of sync. This leaves us often feeling fatigued and with low energy
    In this episode we are sharing 5 tips for helping you cure spring fever:
    Change your diet
    Incorporate outdoors time
    Reset your space
    Surround yourself with things that excite you
    Use your days if you have them

The bee’s knees of teacher podcasts

I REALLY enjoy your podcast. I have been listening for the past 2 years +. It started during covid when I felt very uncertain and overwhelmed at the idea of teaching online and they hybrid teaching. You both gave me tremendous confidence that I lacked. Being a veteran teacher of 25 years I felt renewed after learning this new technology (google classroom, google drive, google slides primarily) and I now embrace it. Your tips on staying organized and productive always seem to come at the perfect time when I need a boost. I am excited to be venturing into digital planning with your planner too. Thank you ladies for all that you do!

Teaching is HARD but I love their energy and these tips have made my teaching years so so much better! Batch planning… life saver! Digital planner I actually use!! Bridget and Michelle have given me time back with their organization and productivity tips and tricks! Huge fan girl and look forward to these each week! So grateful for you both!

Lifesavers!

Though I have been a teacher for 20 years I have been out of the classroom for the recent years (planning time teacher/librarian). As I restart in the classroom I feel like a new teacher again and this podcast has been soooo inspiring and has helped me to calm my mind about the practical aspects of the day to day. Thank you!
