Colleagues,

Three more strategies to decrease the number of notifications you receive every day:
 
Strategy 4: Put your phone on Do Not Disturb
  • Yes, I’m being serious
  • Identify the 3-5 people who must be able to get ahold of you no matter what.
  • Add them to your exclusions so their calls will always ring through.
  • Alternatively, set your phone to ring through on a second consecutive call from the same number and tell people to call you twice in an emergency.
 
Strategy 5: Designate a trouble shooter
  • Identify a pool for 3-5 people who can handle emergencies.
  • Always have one of them designated as the emergency person.
  • Rotate who is covering emergencies.
  • This allows people to have uninterrupted time by covering for each other.
 
Strategy 6: Educate
  • Be vocal about establishing healthy notification habits throughout the organization
  • Practice what you preach (yes, Frederick is being a bit hypocritical here)
  • Teach others the systems and how they work
 
I wrote these with school leaders in mind, but they are generally setting agnostic. If you want to take a deeper dive, check out episode 30 of The Assistant Principal Podcast.
 
Did I miss the mark or nail it? Let me know with a quick email here.
 
Have a great weekend!
 
 
Cheers!
 
Frederick
