Summary/Abstract: The article presents an analysis of establishment of cooperation network between teachers’ family and professional life. The analysis is performed with the use of the category of time which serves as an aid to understand the life experiences of contemporary teachers. A number of characteristics of contemporary culture are demonstrated in the text, including focus on the present, haste, lack of time, fragmentation of time and activity awareness, blurring borders between work and free time and its implications for establishment of a network of cooperation between teacher’s family and professional life. The thesis I propose and defend in the article is that it is possible and crucial for the teachers to establish a network of cooperation between their family and professional life, although it may give rise to various tensions and conflicts.
