Example weekly schedule

Here's what a balanced week might look like for teachers.

TeachingGrading/PlanningProfessional DevelopmentFitnessPersonal

School hours (8:30am–3pm): Teaching + duty. Afternoons/evenings: 1-2x/week grading/planning blocks (2-3 hours). Fitness 3x/week (before school or during lunch). Evenings: personal time, hobbies, relationships. Weekends: grading Sunday (2 hours), personal time other days.

Frequently asked questions

How do I prevent grading from taking over my evenings?

Schedule Grading/Planning in dedicated blocks (e.g., Sun + Wed after work). Batch grade: set timer for 2 hours, grade efficiently, then stop. GoalSplitter's calendar keeps you accountable.

Can I fit professional development alongside teaching?

Yes. Create a Professional Development category with 2-3 hours/week. This might be coursework, reading, attending conferences, or committee work. It keeps you growing without overwhelming your schedule.

How do I use summers if teaching year is so packed?

Summers are time to recover and invest in personal goals. Use GoalSplitter to protect vacation time as 'off', then create summer projects (training certifications, travel, writing) with more generous time allocations.
