How’s it going this week, fam? What have your highs & lows been this week? My high was helping a client land a dream job. My low was…I’m just kind of feeling burnt out overall. What do you all do when you are feeling over your work? I’m thinking about a month-long tropical vacation, but I don’t actually have the time or money for it.

Go out and touch grass. Not to be derogatory, but that honestly helps. Riding bikes, hiking, doing literally anything that gets you away from a screen. I find social events, affinity groups, etc. help substantially.

For sure! I’m in the PNW and it’s definitely a chore to get outside or even to just feel motivated at all when the SAD hits. I hope you find a little joy and are able to get away from the desk.

Welp, my new manager got laid off, old manager stepped in. We’re starting to get back to how it used to be, organized and getting our ish done. We’re swimming in reqs and can barely keep our heads above water. When I am feeling burnt out, I tend to check out. Try starting a tv series or do something on the weekend that you enjoy. I find that when I do things I like, it gives me some comfort. Also, plan for some time off and have a mini getaway that you’re looking for.

Does anyone have ideas on how to navigate a smaller team environment when everyone’s roles seem to be stretched (hiring for additional people has been taking a while, not sure why).

I try to ignore and just stay focused on what I need to do yet sometimes proves challenging. I worry it might affect my professional/career growth. Thoughts on this would be helpful, thanks!

I love my job in special education, the job may bring quite a bit of stress and exhaustion but nothing compares to the stress of the related service team. OT, PT, speech, BCBA, social worker, etc etc is really what’s killing me this year. It is 23 days into the school year and the team members all make different plans and as a result, nothing is being accomplished. And if paraprofessionals follow ie what OT says but not PT, it cause so much unnecessary conflict!
