On the topic of FOCUS, today I talk about the various ways we can eliminate distractions in our work. From notifications on our devices to how many projects we allow ourselves to juggle at a time.

I've never met a single educator who regretted setting and maintaining boundaries in their work. I think the fact this is even a topic of conversation points to a larger issue of the culture of working in education that we are facing. You deserve boundaries. I deserve boundaries. They deserve boundaries. We all deserve boundaries.

Working in education is the single greatest privilege of all time. Not convinced? Me neither. At least, not yet. Today I point out something that's been bothering me for a while.

This episode marks the start of many more conversations on the subject of making the field of education better than it has ever been.
