If you're like the average charter school leader, you're clocking in over 60-hour work weeks. An outsider (or spouse) might assume that by working the equivalent of two full-time jobs, you should feel on top of your workload. But that couldn't be further from the truth! The feeling of perpetually running out of time isn't just a sentiment; it's a reality that nearly all leaders face.

A colleague recently shared a podcast episode by John Acuff called "Why you're always out of time and how to fix it." In the episode, Acuff lays out a formula to audit your time and then take meaningful action to regain control of your workload. We think this practice is dynamite and created a template to make the audit easy to perform. So, you can listen to the episode (1.5x speed) or read this article to audit your clock and get the work done that matters most.
