MS - time element is pivotal -- time flies by
K - using Calm app through insurance; how to fit into routine is a challenge
MF - no time because schedule differs and virtual nature of things has taken up a lot of time
NC - making time, managing time, and protecting time
KS - unable to make any time for self, even on weekends and overwhelmed with what need to do on weekends; there are always things to do; and need to get up earlier to create virtual classrooms and then going through late submitted work; it's difficult to set aside time for self; only real time is maybe at the end of the school year
NC - one day a week there's a professional development day driven by administrator; there is a Wellness Wednesday x 2 a month (yoga, do color, paint and sip, and go and walk around the building with team -- don't think about doing work -- time to clear minds), other 2 Wednesdays are book studies
KS - there aren't any programs like that; even when trying to prep, students need help and assistance to do their work online; teachers really only get lunchtime; no other time allocated based on her experience
JS - end of the day and shut things off and go home; try to fight the desire to be perfect; we need to treat and address ourselves first
KS - OnCourse system where administrators can monitor what's going on at all time
MS - maybe should bring this to the administrators' attention; her administrators have knowledge and awareness of need for self-care and have actively tried to find ways to help teachers
KS - there are resources offered for opportunities after the day is over, but not during the day
J - working from home is difficult and build 5 minutes of yoga for each section
NC - during teaching team meetings, bring resources for self-care for teachers which ultimately help students; base advice on research and other reliable resources -- once done on one team, it branches out to other teachers

22 years at Finney Elementary in San Diego, California. I've been in distance learning this entire year and will continue until the end of the year.

I am teaching virtually this year, from my home. I feel like the only time I am not on the computer is when I am asleep. I hope to learn ways to make time for self care.

One resource I found helpful (but you need to find little blocks of time to read/practice) - The 3 pm Teacher. She offered a free workshop through Facebook. Great tips for managing time and stress.

MS - timer, use little timer to get up and go outside to take a mini break (from 3pm Teacher) -- The 3pm Teacher on Facebook, Kristin (?) has blog; her resources are geared toward Google Classroom, Padlet, Jamboard -- they're made for teachers who need more time for themselves (program is called Easy Teaching Tools)
JS - The 3pm Teacher works well for him, especially the clock; virtualtrips.io -- helps you get away and enjoy somewhere else); different webinars to learn new skills (e.g., photography); unfortunately, we have to draw a line or we will feel sick and burnt out
MM - walking pets and listen to books on tape or podcasts; there's joy in giving to others; there can be guilt when not doing something and helping others; FitBit has some mediation tools; school district has provided yoga and meditation classes (difficult to go because of tutoring or other responsibilities after school); go get a pedicure and doing something like that for herself; important to put our oxygen mask on first
K - staff-planned Zoom happy hours which give opportunities to interact socially and also commiserate about school and non-school things; it's helpful to talk with others who were experiencing the same things
MS - important to tell oneself that me time and fun time is needed, and it's okay to say, "I'm done for today"
JS - everyone is missing social interaction that comes with being together in the same place
NC - happy hour with group of colleague friends; schedule times to go out for a spa day; doing something else at the same time of online events (e.g., painting while listening to webinars)
JS - we shouldn't feel guilty for needing time for ourselves
MF - challenge to be contained to one's house, which makes things very stressful; difficult to manage virtual schedules
MM - getting out in nature is great for stress relief
MF - finding safe outdoor spaces is helpful to unwind and relax, but finding the safe places is stressful
NC - journaling is a great tool

Free app for teachers that has guided meditations and mindfulness activities. Also has music to listen to that help with sleep. Kind of like a self help app.

Having a home daycare limited to what I can do with my little ones when I have more virtual learners, because  the older kids take up all my time
