This educator planner page in MS Word or PDF, your modified version of the Teacher Control Journal from www.flylady.com, the "Rock, Pebble, Sand" story, and the following books are very helpful resources in the area of time management and balance.

Often I was pressed for time as a teacher. I needed to exercise, but I also need to unwind. It worked to overlap exercise with play. One way I’ve seen teachers have success in this area is by playing volleyball, softball, or basketball in a not-so-serious league (church or community).

Teachers who weren’t into team sports or didn’t have the time for them chose swimming, walking, jogging, jump roping, etc. as their solution. Personally, I have a jump rope with an accompanying DVD and CD, and I’ve noticed that having the “company” and guidance on the DVD helps me stick with it.
