GET IT OUT OF YOUR HEAD
Give each job somewhere to go.
That job you remembered at 3am, a parent call scribbled on a Post-it, the follow-up from a meeting: type it in ordinary words and check the details before saving it. You can add it now without choosing a time yet.
Forward emails that need action to your private Teacher Sorted address. For a message in a parent app, add the job yourself. Keep pupil names and sensitive information out of what you enter.
In Teacher Sorted: Tell Teacher Sorted picks out the job, deadline and rough time from your words so you can check them.

CHOOSE YOUR PRIORITIES
Know what you’re doing, and when you’re going to do it.
Choose what matters today, whether that’s marking, meeting preparation or a parent call. Teacher Sorted helps you fit that work around the PPA, frees and other non-teaching time you want to use.
For each work block, tell Teacher Sorted how many minutes you genuinely expect to have. Those minutes are the capacity it plans with. Mark a block as suitable for uninterrupted focus when a job needs more concentration.
Add the PPA, preparation periods or other non-teaching time you genuinely want to use. Before-school, evening and weekend time only appears if you choose it.
Keep your teaching timetable alongside the rest of your plan in Today and Week, if that helps. Build it yourself or upload the timetable you already use, including a Week A/B pattern.
Look at Today to see your plan and where to start. Check Week to see how the important jobs fit around teaching and meetings. You’re choosing what to do, not filling every spare minute.
The other jobs stay in Work until you decide when to tackle them. If you choose more work than you’ve made time for, Teacher Sorted shows that clearly so you can adjust your priorities.
Start my day suggests work for the time you have available. Got twenty minutes? See what fits. Bigger jobs can be split across a few sessions, so your priorities can keep moving.
In Teacher Sorted: Start my day can suggest a plan using the work time you’ve added. You choose the priorities and can change the suggestion.

WHEN SCHOOL HAS OTHER IDEAS
Keep doing the right work when the day changes.
A parent call runs over, a meeting gets added or an urgent job needs attention. The priorities you chose at 8am might need changing by lunchtime.
Add the change, see how today’s plan looks now and decide what to do next. Teacher Sorted keeps deadlines and the rest of your work visible while you choose what moves.
- Nothing moves without your say-so
- Small changes do not create constant warnings
- Holidays can pause your usual pattern
- One-week and two-week timetables are supported

SEE YOUR PROGRESS
Finish knowing what’s done and what comes next.
See what you’ve completed and what’s still in the plan. Leave a note about where to start next time, so nothing has to be kept in your head overnight.
When you’ve done the work you chose for today, stop. Return Brief will help you pick up next time without reconstructing the whole week.
In Teacher Sorted: Finish for now records a restart point. Return Brief helps you pick up where you left off.

THE LITTLE THINGS THAT MAKE THE DAY LIGHTER
Keep the important jobs moving, however the week unfolds.
Reminders, regular jobs and the work waiting on someone else stay in view, so you can concentrate on the things you’ve chosen to do today.
Get the work out of your head
Add it while it’s in your head.
Use Tell Teacher Sorted and type it as you would explain it to another teacher. It picks out the job, date and rough time, then lets you check what it understood.
In Teacher Sorted: Get it out of your head
Forward the email. Keep the job.
Forward a work email, or send a new message to your private Teacher Sorted address. The clearest action becomes work without you retyping it.
In Teacher Sorted: Email Teacher Sorted
Change the job without starting again.
Use Tell Teacher Sorted to say that a job needs longer, has changed or is finished. It can update the existing work and checks when the match is not clear.
In Teacher Sorted: Tell it when something changes
Keep the deadline with the job.
Tell Teacher Sorted when something has to be done. It keeps the deadline with the job, helps you plan towards it and can remind you when something needs a nudge.
In Teacher Sorted: Keep on top of deadlines and reminders
Bring it back when it matters.
Something for later in the term? Save it now and choose when it should come back into your planning. It stays in Work without competing with this week’s jobs.
In Teacher Sorted: Remember it now. Come back to it when it matters.
Keep waiting jobs out of today’s plan.
If a job can only happen after something else, Teacher Sorted can hold it back until it is actually possible.
In Teacher Sorted: Do things in the order they are actually possible
Make the week workable
Find time for your priorities around teaching.
Use your PPA, frees and whatever before- or after-school time you choose. Teacher Sorted plans with that time, not an imaginary empty day.
In Teacher Sorted: Plan around the time you really have
Know when your important jobs are planned.
See what you have planned, what still needs a home and where the week is running out of room. On desktop, zoom in or out and rearrange it.
In Teacher Sorted: See where the week is getting tight
See what matters most today.
See what you have planned for today, what is due and what could fit if you get a spare gap.
In Teacher Sorted: Know what to do today
Got twenty minutes? Find the right job.
See useful jobs that actually fit the time you have got.
In Teacher Sorted: Got 20 minutes?
When school changes the plan
Keep your priorities in view when plans change.
Lose PPA, a free period or time to a meeting? See what has been squeezed out so you can decide what moves, waits or needs a conversation.
In Teacher Sorted: School changed the plan?
Week A and Week B both belong in the plan.
Use school patterns, holidays and one-off changes without rebuilding your whole setup every time the week changes shape.
In Teacher Sorted: Week A/B? Holidays? One-off changes?
Keep bigger jobs moving
The regular jobs are already there.
Weekly marking, admin and other regular jobs can return automatically, so you do not have to keep remembering to add them.
In Teacher Sorted: Regular jobs come back on their own
Keep important work moving in smaller sessions.
A two-hour job does not need a two-hour gap. Teacher Sorted can build a split plan across suitable blocks and keep the time left visible as you make progress.
In Teacher Sorted: Break big jobs into the time you have
Finish and stay in control
Keep track of the time spent on this job.
Start a work timer on a task, pause for interruptions or choose a focus countdown. No separate timer app needed.
In Teacher Sorted: Keep track while you work
See your progress. Know where to pick up.
Leave yourself a clear next step, close the laptop and come back knowing where to pick up.
In Teacher Sorted: Stop work without losing the thread
See planned work in your usual calendar.
Put planned Teacher Sorted work into Google Calendar, Outlook or Apple Calendar through a private, read-only feed you can turn off.
