We all have a lot in common when it comes to bandwith and it's good to know you are not alone in how you are feeling.

"Control what you can control!"

5 mins of venting and then move on

I am going to use this to open my next team meeting. Thanks Joe!

Takeaway

2023-10-03 23:50:08 UTC

Our time is our own and we decide how to use it. We can spend it complaining or doing. We can get stuck or move in small steps forward. The bottom line is it is up to us.

2023-10-03 23:50:31 UTC

You don't have to do it all. Let others take the lead and you are their assistant.

"Clear is Kind"

Perspective

2023-10-17 23:46:41 UTC

A colleague once told me, "They're not going to build you a statue."

I don't have to do everything for everyone. I don't need to be THE best. Just MY best.

End "vent times" with colleagues on a positive note.

2023-10-17 23:46:46 UTC

Family first, but make time to connect with colleagues, too!

Don't over think it. Make the best decision you can with the information you have at the time. Don't judge that decision later.

Sometimes it's OK to just put the phone down...

2023-11-08 00:47:46 UTC

I am going to try taking school email off my phone for a week and see how it goes.

2023-11-08 00:48:11 UTC

2023-11-08 00:49:10 UTC

Emails and texts can wait. Sleep is important to be of healthy mind and body!

Recognize the Shackles

2023-11-08 00:49:28 UTC

I KNOW I spend too much time on social media, but I don't know KNOW it. Be more mindful of the time I am on. Mindless use is pointless use.

2023-11-08 00:49:48 UTC

I'm going to work on leaving my phone in a different room so I'm not as quick to check it.

No Notifications!

2023-11-08 14:58:54 UTC

Take off all notifications and check the applications at the time you are ready to handle them.

In addition to what if it all workds out- I love the "Let Them" theory--- Let them do whatever it is that they want to do, it creates more control and emotional peace for you and a better relationship with the people in your life.

Every day is a new day to start again.

Happiness is founded in appreciation. Have a gratitude attitude : xoxo

Be as Forgiving with Ourselves as We Are with Students

2023-11-29 00:47:31 UTC

It's easy enough to be flexible with students who are struggling with time management and "bandwidth" issues, but we often decline to hold ourselves to the same standards.
