Balancing administrative duties and lesson planning can be tough, but with the right approach, it's manageable. Here's how I would handle it: 1) Focus on urgent tasks first (like grading or meetings) and set aside time for lesson planning. Organize tasks by importance. 2) Get help from teaching assistants, office staff, or students for routine tasks like organizing materials or grading. 3) Use digital tools (like gradebooks or communication platforms) to automate tasks and save time.

Well, Administrative tasks can pile up in such in way that can be painstaking. But I ensure I prioritize it Set Clear Priorities: Identify the most urgent administrative tasks and tackle them first. Time Block: Allocate specific time slots for lesson planning and stick to them. Delegate or Automate: Delegate tasks to colleagues or use tools to automate repetitive admin work. Combine Tasks: Review administrative work while brainstorming lesson ideas when possible. Focus on Essentials: Plan the core aspects of your lessons to save time on details. Avoid Perfectionism: Aim for progress, not perfection, in both admin work and planning. Take Breaks: Short breaks can help refresh your focus for both tasks.

Work all your assigned job role tasks with listening to your opinion about anything in your mind while so doing. Yes the unconscious is also loading into the conscious possible neurological activity that might be linked or might be relevant. My suggestion is let your brain work on an independent basis without your ‘social media interaction’. Talking to yourself a lot of time and and waste effort. Perhaps log specific or special milestones in your resume about integrating away ‘chores’.
