Plan out each minute

I was once given the advice, related to planning lessons, of “plan out what each student will be doing at each minute of class.” This is an incredibly simple and straight forward way to ensure that your lessons go smoothly and work well with your students.

However.

It takes a TON of time. Image doing this for a full school day from 8:00am to 3:00pm. That’s 7 hours of time and you’ll have multiple students. That means planning out 420 minutes of the day for multiple people. A TON of time.

But when you’re able to plan out things in this way you’ll be surprised at just how well they go.
