Having creating this HUB I am not sure what I would do without it now. Lots of people have asked me about it so I decided to make a video on how it works and some tips on how you can create your own!

Left at 7.30pm, back at 7am. Happy World Teachers day! 🌍 🎉
Yesterday was a long one and I wasn’t feeling great, but I had so much fun! A 13-hour day that went by so quickly and with so much variety and connection doesn’t happen in many professions. I didn’t realise how long the day was until my partner shared it with me - it’s just what we do sometimes!
I am grateful to be in a profession where what we do has such a great impact on other humans. Seeing kids happy and experiencing success is just the best feeling to me!
Many days in my year are HAAARRD but this is the most rewarding profession out there. Thank you for doing it so well - the kids appreciate you!

Making memories. Took our event to a new level this year!
Grades 3-12 in nature, walking, jogging, and running all in the spirit of Terry Fox. A special day!
One of the greatest things we can do as teachers is to create positive experiences and memories for our students. I think we did that today!

…and you thought your teaching week was long 😂 it was great to get out and about and be social on a Friday after a big week.
I am hopeless at making plans. After a long day at school I could just curl up. But i’m trying to be more deliberate about getting things booked in the calendar (maybe that’s just parent life)!
If you’re like me, make sure you’re planning your lessons and your socialising!

The start of the year has felt like being on a treadmill on level 16 for 3 weeks. But that’s totally ok! Why?
Because I knew this was coming. A reminder that our lives are designed to go from periods of rest to extreme busyness! It’s the start of term. Don’t be hard on yourself for being behind, feeling a little run down, or not achieving perfection.
You’re doing great.
- Focus on the priorities right now
- Keep carving out time for yourself
- Get a good nights sleep!
You’ve got this!

Ok teachers. Here it comes…
As we start the school year, remember that our lives are designed to go from periods of rest and recharge to periods of, well, the crazy busy job that is teaching!
Remember that we chose this and it’s down to us to set our year up for success to find the right balance.
3 tricks to get you started:
1) When your get your new school schedule, schedule in time for you! It might be a walk around your school site, a workout before school, a social evening in your week. Whatever it is, if it’s in your schedule it’s more likely to be done.
2) Plan something for your next break. It’s always fun to have something to look forward to. From a little getaway to an activity with the friend, just put something in there!
3) Get your morning routine on lock! It’s not easy to go from lazy mornings to up and at em! Make a plan for your morning so that your maximise your sleep and time to start your days right.
Happy back to school! 😁

🎉 BIG NEWS 🌟
After 5 years of teaching, I found myself overworked, tired, and unbalanced.
That was until I stumbled across a simple goal setting approach. Since then, it has morphed into a way of life through my own education and research. Today, my work-life balance is something that allowed me to fall in love with teaching again.
Having gained good feedback from my own colleagues and when speaking at teacher events, I decided to put what I knew into an online course that can be accessed easily by any teachers around the world.
I am so very grateful to those that have supported the so far. Today, it is available to all of you. For FREE.
If you know a teacher who is looking for a better work-life balance, simply tag them, share, or comment!
We are all in this together. To your work-life balance.
Matt 🙂

The best goal yet ❤️ but it wasn’t easy..
At school I was taught the countless ways to avoid pregnancy. I wasn’t taught how many people can struggle when they actually want to get pregnant!
Whilst we didn’t have the worst journey, it did take us well over a year of trying before we decided to get a little bit of support. At the time, it was difficult. As the I live a life of deliberate goal setting but this goal surely I couldn’t set.
Well after a year and a half of trying, I thought why not and wrote down my health goal for the next 90 days: ‘Create a Human’.
Everything in my head said no don’t do that. It is out of your control. That will never happen in time. You’ll fail.
We prioritised doing everything we could to make it happen and in that 90 day window last summer it actually happened.
Today I hold my 7-day old daughter in my arms ❤️
Key takeaways:
- Getting pregnant isn’t easy for everyone
- Good things take time
- Writing down your goals is one of the most powerful things you can do.
