Teachers
For teachers managing lesson planning, grading, and student interactions while keeping personal tasks organized, Akiflow’s Folders, Projects, Sections, and Tags offer a powerful way to help you stay organized and on top of your tasks.
Folders: High-Level Categories
Folders represent the primary areas of focus in your professional and personal life.
Suggested Folders:
Personal: For non-work-related activities and tasks
Teaching: Core teaching responsibilities like lesson planning and grading
Professional Development: For learning opportunities, certifications, and growth
Extracurriculars: Managing clubs, events, and other school activities
Folders are expandable or collapsible giving you a streamlined view of your Akiflow sidebar.
Projects: Mid-Level Organization
Use Projects to focus on specific areas of your professional and personal life. Projects make tasks actionable and trackable.
Suggested Projects:
Assign tasks to specific projects for clear segmentation. Projects can be color-coded and can have different emojis for visual organization.
Sections: Structure Your Workflows
Break projects into phases, categories, or stages using sections to make workflows more manageable.
Suggested Sections:
Sections can help declutter your task list, making it easier to focus on specific stages or categories within your Project. They are also useful for workflows like Kanban or when breaking down projects into steps.
Tags: Add Context Across Tasks
Tags add flexibility and allow you to categorize tasks across projects for quick filtering and prioritization.
Suggested Tags:
To Prepare: For tasks requiring materials or setup
To Discuss: Topics for team meetings or parent conferences
To Review: Lessons or content to proofread
You can add multiple tags to a single task for cross-referencing and clarity (i.e. a tasked tagged both as To Review and Research). You can also filter asks by tags to quickly find related items.
Best Practices
Integrate and automate where possible: Sync Akiflow with platforms like Notion to seamlessly pull in tasks and schedules and keep your workflow centralized in one place
Keep it simple: Use folders, projects, and sections to create structure but keep tags simple and consistent
Review regularly: Use daily and weekly Rituals to revisit folders, projects, and tags and ensure that you stay aligned with your priorities and deadlines
