1 Prioritize your projects

The first step is to prioritize your projects based on their urgency, importance, and complexity. You can use a matrix or a list to rank them according to these criteria. For example, a project that is due soon, has a high impact on your students' learning, and requires a lot of work is a high-priority project, while a project that is due later, has a low impact on your students' learning, and requires little work is a low-priority project. You can then focus on the high-priority projects first and allocate more time and resources to them.

To manage multiple deadlines for long-term projects as a teacher, I prioritize tasks based on urgency and importance. I break down each project into smaller, manageable tasks and allocate specific time slots for completion. For example, if I have a unit plan due, parent-teacher conferences to prepare for, and student assessments to grade, I create a To do list or chechlist outlining when each task will be tackled. I may also seek assistance from colleagues or delegate certain responsibilities to ensure all deadlines are met efficiently. By staying organized and focused, I can effectively navigate through multiple deadlines while maintaining the quality of my work.

Give yourself time to think about your targets and priorities: what do you want from these projects? Ehatcis the main top target? What is your plan to reach this target? Then ask your self: which one of these projects can help you to achieve this target rapidly and effectively? According to your answers of those questions, you can make your check list for beginning work on the current projects

2 Break down your projects

The second step is to break down your projects into smaller and manageable tasks. You can use a timeline, a calendar, or a planner to map out the steps and milestones for each project. For example, if you have to create a lesson plan for a unit, you can divide it into tasks such as researching the topic, designing the activities, preparing the materials, and reviewing the outcomes. You can then assign a deadline and a time estimate for each task and track your progress.

3 Schedule your tasks

The third step is to schedule your tasks into your daily or weekly routine. You can use a tool such as a digital or paper agenda, a to-do list, or a kanban board to organize your tasks and visualize your workflow. You can then plan your work hours and blocks of time for each task, taking into account your energy levels, distractions, and interruptions. For example, you can schedule your most challenging or creative tasks for the morning, when you are more alert and focused, and your less demanding or routine tasks for the afternoon, when you are more tired and distracted.

After you have your priority done and checklist writing and understood, begin planning for your project and making time table in which you suspect certain time for each job to be ended

4 Communicate your expectations

The fourth step is to communicate your expectations to your stakeholders, such as your students, colleagues, administrators, and family. You can use a tool such as an email, a memo, or a newsletter to inform them about your projects, deadlines, and availability. You can then set boundaries and negotiate your responsibilities and commitments with them. For example, you can ask your students to submit their assignments on time, your colleagues to share their resources or feedback, your administrators to provide support or flexibility, and your family to respect your work space or time.

5 Review and adjust your plan

The fifth step is to review and adjust your plan regularly, based on your actual performance and feedback. You can use a tool such as a journal, a log, or a dashboard to monitor your results and challenges for each project. You can then celebrate your achievements and learn from your mistakes. For example, you can reward yourself for completing a task or a project, reflect on what worked well or what went wrong, and make changes to your priorities, tasks, or schedule if needed.

This practice ensures that tasks remain aligned with objectives and allows for necessary adaptations in response to evolving circumstances. This process fosters a proactive approach to time management and promotes a sense of accountability. By continuously evaluating and refining plans, educators can uphold standards of excellence while effectively navigating the complexities of their workload. Such diligence ultimately enhances productivity and facilitates the achievement of educational goals. For instance, when faced with simultaneous deadlines for curriculum development and assessment design, a teacher might periodically reevaluate timelines and resource allocation to optimize efficiency and quality.

6 Take care of yourself

The sixth step is to take care of yourself physically, mentally, and emotionally, while working on your projects. You can use a tool such as a tracker, a reminder, or a buddy system to maintain your health and well-being. You can then practice self-care and stress management strategies, such as eating well, sleeping enough, exercising regularly, meditating, relaxing, and having fun. For example, you can eat a nutritious breakfast, take a nap, go for a walk, listen to music, watch a movie, or chat with a friend.

Quit. Just quit. Quit quit quit quit quit quit quit. Teaching is not meant to be a slave labor job where you're constantly being overworked and burnt out for little pay. Just quit. Really, you'll feel better. Quit, it's the better option. Or move to Europe and teach where they treat teachers like decent human beings. But in this country, just quit. Your health matters more than your job.

Working on more than one project at the same time is challenging, even if you have trained for it, it's not healthy it leaves you stressed even if you have done all the projects effectively and successfully. Teachers need to prevent this from happening again, make schedule for each project apart from other one
