How to find work-life balance working as a teacher.

Everyone knows that to be a teacher means to give your time, your heart, your soul and your health to children. Otherworldly, it is life-consuming job. But, how not to forget about your own life? Of course, you can always try to escape from duties, not to follow new methods of teaching, not to search for something interesting and innovative, you can just give information, but, than, you will not be a good teacher. So, not to forget about his or her own life, teacher should do the following things: plan, involve and relax.

It means, that to reach perfect work-life balance, teacher should plan all the actions forehead, have everything organized, find right place for each minute in life and do all these in a written form. It will help to save precious time.

Teacher also may explain students that they should do everything in time, to appeal to their reasons. If they understand you, it will improve their discipline and make their work more productive. Teacher can involve his or her family members in planning lessons and activities in order to spend much time with them and, maybe, to receive some interesting ideas.

But, of course, it is not enough. That is why, sometimes, it is necessary to forget for awhile about your occupation and to relax. And, than, when your mind and your body are refreshed, you can keep on working with enthusiasm and new ideas.

Still, it is hard to give advice in this case, because, even involving their students and relatives in their activities, even having relaxation from time to time, even organizing everything correctly, not all the teachers manage to gain this very work-life balance.

The best way of starting working.(after)

There are a lot of ways to start working. The choice of the way depends on a kind of work, on a person’s features of character, on his or her preferences. The most popular ways of starting working and preparing to it are: concentration, relaxation and organization. But, what to choose?

First of all, we should define the kind of work, we are going to speak about. Let it be writing. Preparing to it, different people use different ways of concentration and relaxation. Someone listens to music, someone seats in front of his or her table and does nothing to concentrate on thoughts and ideas, others walk across the room. Personally, I concentrate while doing something. The place is also important. You can lay on your bed, or seat in front of your table, where all the things are placed in strict order, or, you can go to a café. In other words, choose place where you feel comfortable and relaxed.

Then, when you are ready to work, you can write or print a plan of your future work. It will help you to organize your ideas in a direct order and will serve you as good support. As we deal with writing, it is always difficult to write the first sentence. So, you can write out on pieces of paper different variants of beginning and then choose one of them or their combination.

Well, you are to decide what way: concentration, relaxation, organization or, maybe, all of them, - is better for you, because, there is no universal way of starting.
