How does one manage all the tasks of a TL?

From my reading, the message seems to be to work smarter, not harder. For example, recognise that you cannot do all of it, so prioritise and ask yourself, “what is the best use of my time right now?” (from Bonnano). Some things may need to be dropped, particularly if they are of low value, and delegation is another option.
I liked Spence’s approach as well, particularly her point about joining professional associations and using things like ‘oztinet’. Again, this is working smarter. No need to reinvent the wheel. Learn from your colleagues.
Spence also tells us that sometimes diplomacy and listening skills are called for, and sometimes “NO” is called for.
Today, show me a successful school library, and Ill show you a TL who is not behind her desk shooshing kids, but out there interacting, helping, guiding, teaching, and most importantly, making sure the Principal knows about it.
