Greetings! Until a few years ago I was working in two completely different jobs and this caused me a lot of stress. I am a teacher and I am also a seamstress. One of the reasons was that both occupations required a lot of work time and the other was that I did not plan enough to effectively meet both commitments. The solution came almost instantly when I incorporated the use of an agenda or organizer where I write down each activity that I must carry out both in one job and in the other.

In my teaching role, the schedule is almost imposed and lasts a semester. Apart from attending to my students during the hours indicated in our class schedule, I began to indicate very precise hours for activities related to teaching such as planning, selecting readings related to the topics, preparing exercises to consolidate knowledge and then for evaluation, and I also indicated hours for the corrections of exams and written works.
As a seamstress I made a monthly schedule for the delivery of my clients' orders that I post in my workshop so that each new job is immediately added to that monthly plan and both I and the clients know what day their work will be delivered.
My days are now less stressful because planning each activity allows me to have greater control of the variables that can create disorder.
For me, working smart is working in an organized, planned and happy way.
