I started measuring the productivity of my weekends 😬. Never had this issue when I was working in the industry. How can I just enjoy my weekends without thinking of career stuff?

Put your career in context and ask yourself why you want to be successful at work. Then ask yourself if your life reflects the ends you defined for yourself and not just the means.

Put away your work laptop
Count productivity as time spent not thinking about work

Please expand on how you measured productivity. Like the idea - but can't think of a better method than just tracking hours and a subjective score

I lateraled into a niche practice group in Sept 2021. I also have a 1 year old and have been mostly remote since I started - but have been keeping busy tracking towards 2400-2500 hours. That said getting to know people only remote has been kind of awkward at times (email only can be tough to decipher) although as a working mom the pros vastly outweigh the cons. Yesterday my main partner asked me to come in Thursday bc he will be there and set a time to meet. Is this good/bad?? kind of nervous!

Too many cooks in the kitchen

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!
