What this blog is actually about

The theme of the blog is time management. The underlying philosophy of the blog is that teacher's stress results from two main causes - both starting with the letter B. 

1. Behaviour.  There's lots of help out there on the web to support you with this aspect of your work
2. Bureaucracy.  Not so much.  Till now.

There is of course a big difference between the two B's. The first of them is entirely logical - sharing a room with 20-30 maladjusted teenagers is likely to cause stress for any sane adult, but bureaucracy?  Really?   I mean who gets stressed over a few spreadsheets and a crumby boss?  Aren't targets and deadlines just a routine of everyday life, tolerated and handled by every cashier and call-centre minion?  Why is it such a big deal for teachers?  

Do not worry, dear reader. I will not make you work too hard. All of the above questions are rhetorical and I shall answer them all for you over the next few weeks.
