What's the first thing you do when you get home at the end of the day? I used to be productive, but these last few weeks, I hit the couch the moment I walk in the door and pass out. God bless naps.

I do the same. Put my bag on the shelf, take my shoes off, and hit the couch for an hour of reading, scrolling, or napping. It's as far from productive as you can get, but after a long day, I think it's deserved.

Teaching is a hard profession. I taught with many people who came from industry and stated teaching was the hardest job they ever had. You are constantly making decisions, thinking about the next period, trying to keep students focused and juggling emails from administrators and parents. Don’t be upset with yourself because you are exhausted at the end of the day. You deserve to rest.

I have to start preparing dinner and help my own kids with their homework. There’s no such thing as a break or nap time in my world.

When I taught full-time, I also directed all the school plays. So, about 25 weeks out of the year, I was at school until 4:30, or 5:00, or 10:30. My wife was a nurse, so when I got home by 5, I cooked diner. Fortunately I love cooking, so that's relaxing for me. And I often followed Julia Child's advice. She said, "I love to cook with wine. And sometimes I put it in the food!"
