5 practical Tips to a More Productive Work Day

Hello Leaders!

Struggling with the never-ending list of tasks and meetings? You're not the only one.

Many principals use Calendar and Tasks but aren't getting the most out of these tools.

Managing a school is tough. You’ve got lots to do, and if you're not using the right tools the right way, it feels like you're always playing catch-up.

I once worked with a principal who felt they were always behind. They used Google Calendar but only for meetings.

After I introduced a system of integrating tasks and using features like color coding and appointment slots, they transformed their workflow, finding extra hours in their week.

Try These 5 Tips to reclaim your "My TIME":

1. Use Different Calendars: Make separate calendars for different things like meetings, personal time, and school events. Color-code them to keep everything clear.
2. Schedule Your Tasks: Don’t just write down tasks—put them in your calendar. This makes them real appointments you’re committed to doing.
3. Share Your Calendars: Let your team see your calendar and share theirs too. This keeps everyone in sync and cuts down on mix-ups.
4. Set Smart Alerts: Use reminders to keep you on top of your important tasks and meetings. You can set them to alert you at just the right time.
5. Book Time Easily: Use Appointment Slots to let people book meetings with you. It shows when you’re free and helps avoid overbooking.
