I don’t know about you, but this year, I want to get better at having a work/life balance. I love having the time in the summer to do things around the house, but struggle when the school year starts. If you have any tips, suggestions, or systems that have worked for you when it comes to planning, etc. I would love to hear your thoughts.

I try to allow a lot set amounts of time for certain tasks around d the house. I literally set a timer and when the time for a task ends. I try to wrap it up and move on. This method helps to avoid lost or wasted time.

I love the use of the timer. I’ve tried this strategy and it’s helpful.

I have this problem as well. I think I’m going to have to schedule chores for each day so I’m not using the weekends to do everything!

When you plan, STICK with it!!!

Sounds crazy but once a month I'm hiring someone to come clean my house so that is not all I am doing on the weekends. I have a side business that takes up alot of my weekends so I leave all school work at school. If it doesn't fit into my week I look at it the next week. I found I would spend all weekend on my sewing business and school work and no time for myself.

The argument that climate change is not man-made has been disproven by science over and over again, yet many people believe that the global crisis is either not real, not of our making, or both, in part because the news media deliberately chooses not to talk about it because it doesn't sell enough.

Additional Posts in Special Education Teachers

I feel like I'm at my wits end. I teach self-contained classes and according to the ISBE website my classes shouldn't be more than 8 students unless I have an aide - then it can be 10. I have no aide and most of my classes are around 14 kids. Some with behavior plans that are only out of our behavior room setting for my class... Is anybody else out there going through illegal class sizes for self-contained? How are you dealing? Maybe a vent session is in order.

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!
