instruction to meet diverse learner needs.
Work-Life Balance: Teachers achieve work-
life balance through effective time
management, reducing stress and preventing
burnout.

goals, allocate study time, and track progress
towards learning objectives.
Self-Regulation: Time management fosters
self-discipline and accountability, aiding
learners in developing persistence and focus
in their academic pursuits.
Stress Reduction: Effective time management

TM Strategies for Teachers and Leaners
FO R T E A C H E R S
Develop a daily planner : by listing tasks to be
accomplished, including upcoming meetings or
deadlines. As tasks are completed, mark them off the
list for tracking progress
Self-Care Breaks: Schedule regular breaks throughout
the day to recharge and prevent burnout. Use this time
for mindfulness exercises, stretching, or simply stepping
away from work for a few minutes.
Block out distractions :Make sure you minimize non-
work distractions such as your cell phone, social media $
FO R L EA R N E R S
Pomodoro Technique: Break study sessions
into shorter intervals (e.g., 25 minutes of
focused work followed by a 5-minute break).
This helps maintain concentration and
prevent fatigue.
Time Blocking: Allocate specific blocks of time
for studying, homework, and other activities.
Use tools like digital calendars or planners to
schedule study sessions and stick to the plan.
Task Prioritization: Identify high-priority
tasks and tackle them first. Use techniques
like the Eisenhower Matrix to categorize
tasks based on urgency and importance.
Time Blocking Method
The time blocking method is a productivity technique where
you allocate specific blocks of time for different tasks or
activities throughout your day. This involves scheduling your
day in advance and grouping similar tasks together into
dedicated time blocks. By focusing on one task or type of
activity during each block, you can minimize distractions,
improve focus, and increase productivity. Time blocking helps
individuals prioritize their tasks, manage their time more
effectively, and maintain a structured approach to their daily
activities

school resources, coupled with potential technical
problems, may hinder effective time management.

speeds, with some grasping concepts quickly and
others requiring more time, this pose challenges to
effective time management.

Classroom

Tangents and Off-Topic Discussions: Stay focused on the lesson objectives

and avoid going off on tangents or engaging in lengthy discussions unrelated
to the topic at hand.
Overplanning: Avoid overloading the lesson plan with too many activities or
objectives. Keep the lesson focused on key concepts and allow flexibility for
student questions or unexpected discussions.
Rushing Students to Complete Tasks and Assignments: Avoid rushing
students to complete tasks and assignments due to time wasted from bad
lesson planning. Provide adequate time for students to understand and
complete tasks effectively.
Classroom Disruptions: Address disruptive behavior promptly to prevent
interruptions to the lesson
Overly Lengthy Explanations: Avoid spending too much time explaining
concepts or instructions. Keep explanations concise and focused to ensure
students stay engaged and on task
