I’ve lost my creativity

I used to be so good at planning interesting and inspiring lessons.

Lately, I just feel so flat about it. I am trying to plan tomorrow’s lessons and I can’t think of anything!

There are only so many all singing all dancing lessons possible.

Effective and to the point is more important.

What gave me a big boost was joining some Facebook groups for my subject. I found people very supportive (not as braggy as Twitter) and there were so many good but simple ideas to use or tweak.

Hmm, for me this was the first sign of burnout. I began finding it harder and harder to plan lessons.

Not sure what to suggest.

Me too, this was my first sign of a burn out!!!

It's when you're operating from the lambic part of your brain, the creativity is shut off. You need a break, some time off and to stop stressing.
The only thing that's helped me with this was going part time.

Type in the topic on google search and see if anything comes up.. Pinterest is quite good for creative ideas and twinkl quite good for resources..
