Can we take a second to get real and just take a b

Can we take a second to get real and just take a breath together?

Today I checked my Etsy app put of the blue and saw so many overdue orders 😭😭😭

Here's the thing, I probably ignored ALL the notifications because I'm inundated with ALL the notifications from everywhere.

And I know I'm not the only one who's missed an important email or a meeting (that could've been an email) and maybe the grading is a little behind...

But we are all perfectly human and I'm giving myself grace and hoping by extending it to others, others are extending it back to me.

So I could totally flip out over how horrible this made me feel, but I did my best to make it right and now I'm moving on.

If I never made a mistake life wouldn't be very fun. So cheers to the mistakes, the oopsies, and the total word vomit that sometimes happens in this wonderfully crazy thing called #teacherlife

Have any great silly mistakes recently? I'll share mine in the comments!

Anchor charts are the teacher version of adult coloring books and have really been MY favorite brain/screen break.

What's your favorite mid-day screen break activity?

I don't have time for "cute" this year yet.

Sure, I've got a bitmoji classroom and I decorated my room, but that's also before.

I consider "before" that time when everything was still up in the air and we had no clue what this year would bring. Then, the year started all of a sudden with questions and so 👏much 👏 work 👏 and just less time for the "cute".

But, if it's functional, it's all you need! Be proud of what you've got, and rock those sticky note decorations, the "bland" Google assignments, and minimal editing on your videos! You're doing what you need and what your students need. If you can get fancy, YOU GO, no shame, make it work!

What's something your glad you left simple this year?

Do you forget to be proud of your accomplishments?

Do you forget to be proud of your accomplishments?

I realized I was forgetting that FINISHING my list isn't as important as recognizing everything I was able to do.

In fact, this year's physics Stick person is my dedicated cheerleader and that stack of sticky notes behind her is all of the little things I'm choosing to be proud of finishing.

Crossing items off a list wasn't doing it for me, so I physically create a stack of my completed tasks to see how all those little things really add up, and the area of "still to do" next to it has a lot less power over me all of the sudden.

So, what are you proud of yourself for today?

I was going to ask if you thought this 42" poster would keep me distraction free, but before I could type that someone knocked on my door...

Still trying to figure out how to maximize my time and energy levels to get all the things done, but I'd love to hear if you have a system that works well!!

(I ❤️ systems)
