Building up momentum and excitement for a project is a great way to get reinvigorated.]]> 2022-10-24 23:40:44 UTC https://padlet.com/sbarnes66/zvp1t2cvqfwllars/wish/2354466917 https://padlet.com/sbarnes66/zvp1t2cvqfwllars/wish/2354467594 I create opportunities for "breaks" in my classroom for everyone. We may take a day to do something creative or fun to keep up with community building and break up the repetition.

Plan exciting events in and out of school. 
-I am currently working with ASB to plan a fall festival 
-I specifically schedule Macbeth for October because it has a fun spooky feel
-I schedule a trip or having someone visit me in October. ]]> 2022-10-24 23:44:14 UTC https://padlet.com/sbarnes66/zvp1t2cvqfwllars/wish/2354469827 https://padlet.com/sbarnes66/zvp1t2cvqfwllars/wish/2354470364 2022-10-24 23:44:56 UTC https://padlet.com/sbarnes66/zvp1t2cvqfwllars/wish/2354470364 https://padlet.com/sbarnes66/zvp1t2cvqfwllars/wish/2354471405 Keep time to spend ONLY w/family]]> 2022-10-24 23:46:18 UTC https://padlet.com/sbarnes66/zvp1t2cvqfwllars/wish/2354471405 https://padlet.com/sbarnes66/zvp1t2cvqfwllars/wish/2357959394 First thing I do is recognize that it is a very regular thing that happens year to year. Normalizing it helps me. Then I lean into the fun fall activities, letting go of some of the other things that might feel overwhelming or like an obligation. ]]> 2022-10-26 20:32:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sbarnes66/zvp1t2cvqfwllars/wish/2357959394 https://padlet.com/sbarnes66/zvp1t2cvqfwllars/wish/2359738580 Plan for fun things to do on the weekends. Allow your time away to involve nature, family, or flea markets! What ever gets you out of work-mode and into living your life-mode. I decorate the house one weekend, plan for the upcoming vacation fun days (Veteran's Day, Thanksgiving, Xmas), and take another to carve pumpkins.]]> 2022-10-27 22:13:24 UTC https://padlet.com/sbarnes66/zvp1t2cvqfwllars/wish/2359738580 jcerna9 https://padlet.com/sbarnes66/zvp1t2cvqfwllars/wish/2359941782 I found it extremely valuable to talk with my colleagues and get feedback from them.

What time I have, I hold sacred. For example, I take care to not schedule anything over that one or two hours on Saturday morning that I have to quietly drink (hot!) coffee and eat breakfast. ]]> 2022-11-03 03:17:44 UTC https://padlet.com/sbarnes66/zvp1t2cvqfwllars/wish/2367737639 https://padlet.com/sbarnes66/zvp1t2cvqfwllars/wish/2369071983 I remind myself (and others) that this is normal and will pass, and look ahead to the coming months.

I used to take my work computer home with me on the weekends to get work done. I realized that I wasn't making time for anyone else other than work. It is important that I take time for myself and not revolve my life around work so that I don't get burnt out. ]]> 2022-11-04 19:10:00 UTC https://padlet.com/sbarnes66/zvp1t2cvqfwllars/wish/2370572985
