Stop waiting on you!  You are 100% responsible for your life.  That’s right, it is time for a little tough love.  It is time to think about what lights you up because you are more than just a teacher.  

In this episode, I go solo to let you in on what you can start doing today to extend your reach and possibilities as you take action to get out of teacher burnout.  I will talk to you about how by reevaluating how you spend your time,  you can do to make more of it. Extending your reach and possibilities is really about moving forward and thinking about what needs to change so you can get more out of life and beat the burnout.

• Get to think about and reevaluate how you spend your time so you can be more intentional with it. (5:10)
• Learn about how to prioritize to become truly productive.  (8:10)
• Know what “idleness aversion” is and how to combat it. (12:00)
• Evaluate the actions that you are taking, or think about ones you want to start taking, and how they are extending your reach and possibilities. (13:50)
• Understand what is meant by “opportunity costs” and how that will help you decide what to say “no” and “yes” to.  (22:20)
