Creating assessments.
Marking assignments.
Writing reports.
Parent/teacher interviews.
As a teacher, every year has its regular busy periods.
School scripture.
Youth group.
Sunday mornings.
Sermons and talks.
In vocational ministry, there’s a predictable cycle of work.
But, then again, both have their quieter times.
Predictably, these mainly revolve around the school holidays.
But, these down times serve an important purpose.
Rest.
Prepare.
Achieve.
This last one is essential.
Now that I’ve conquered the report writing mountain for 2023 (with just a lazy 170 reports) I have a few significant tasks to knock off before the term winds down.
And, now is the time to get them done while I have a little more time on my hands.
Why?
Because it helps downplay the idea that teachers or those in ministry have a limited work schedule and, before you know it, the limited window of downtime will slam shut and the predictable busyness will kick off.
