- The exhaustion is real this year!
- More sunlight is helping
- It's been rough with student behaviour in both of our buildings
- Lots of evening events
- Strategy #1: It's ok to say no! Don't stretch yourself too thin
- Strategy #2: Take mental health days as needed to take care of your own health
- Don't feel guilty about saying no
- Take naps as needed
- Strategy #3: Give yourself permission to not be the best teacher (don't take on extras, keep going with what you are doing and try to rely on your team)
- Work-life balance is off - commuting more takes away from planning time
- Resignations are up and, in some boards, bigger than retirements
- Politics and contract negotiations
- Strategy #4: Avoid the news and social media (blissful ignorance)
- Strategy #5: Spend time connecting with friends and family to refill your bucket
- Strategy #6: Create boundaries (check emails only in school hours)
- Strategy #7: COFFEE!
- Strategy #8: Take care of your health (eating well, exercising, listen to your body)
- Strategy #9: Hobbies (knitting, piano, violin)
- Strategy #10: Vent with critical friends (avoid bottling things up!)
- Strategy #11: Planning forward (camping, puppy)
