Why This Site Exists
Teachers are often told to “look after themselves” while being handed more work, more expectations, and more pressure. It’s hard to rest when you feel like you’re constantly behind.
Save Teachers’ Sundays is a quiet corner of the internet built with this reality in mind. It doesn’t pretend that workload problems can be solved with a new planner or a productivity hack. Instead, it focuses on small, honest changes that can soften the edges of your week.
What You’ll Find Here
The content on this site is organised around three themes:
- Workload – small shifts to planning, marking, and routines that may ease your week.
- Digital tools – simple uses of technology that save time instead of adding complexity.
- Wellbeing – gentle ideas about rest, boundaries, and feeling human again by Monday.
What This Site Is Not
This is not a place that will tell you to work harder, wake up at 4am, or build an elaborate colour-coded system you’ll never be able to maintain. It doesn’t judge you for being tired, behind, or simply fed up.
Instead, it assumes you are already doing your best under difficult conditions, and that you deserve some of your time and energy back.
How to Use the Ideas Here
You don’t have to overhaul your entire life to benefit from these articles. In fact, the intention is that you pick one small idea at a time:
- try a new Friday routine for a couple of weeks,
- experiment with one digital template that saves you a few minutes,
- protect one evening from school work each week, even if everything isn’t “done”.
Over time, these small changes can stack up into something meaningful without requiring you to become a productivity machine.
