Summary

We all know that the line of work that we are involved in *teaching* can be incredibly exhausting. We give so much of ourselves through our time, energy, understanding, heart, and we bare the burden of so many. Therefore, it’s of no surprise that we take the time to remind ourselves of the importance of taking time for YOU. The more you give, the more time you need to recoup and regain your strength in order to continue giving day in and day out. So, let’s chat about not only the why of putting yourself first, but also the how to put yourself first. These may be things that you know or have heard before but we all need reminders to ensure that we are following through. [2:32] THE WHY Listen and learn about the key reasons on why it is critical that you are giving back to yourself. These will be reminders but they just might be the reminders that you need. [5:00] THE HOW-TO Learn how we give back to ourselves! We share some of our favorite ways to make sure that we are thinking about us. Click HERE to download the FREE Self-Care Calendar! [11:40] GETTING IT ALL DONE But what about getting it all done? Well, that is going to require some responsibility and commitment on your part. We share a few tips to help get you started! CONCLUSION Remember that in order for us to take time for ourselves, we also have to hold ourselves accountable in other ways, but if you feel like you are drowning, stop, breathe, and think about you. Refill that cup in order to pull yourself up on that raft at the end of the day. SUBSCRIBE & REVIEW Are you subscribed to our podcast? If you’re not, I want to encourage you to do that today.

0:00.0	Well, hello there are top teachers. We are your host, Bridget Spackman and Michelle Farray. And we are here to make
0:06.1	your life easier by helping you master your time, organization, and productivity as a teacher.
0:12.2	We are getting close to February and it's the time of love, which I just, it just makes me all giddy inside.
0:18.8	But I really want to know, what is your time-sucking hurdle that's happening this week?
0:25.6	So this is the complete opposite of love.
0:27.9	It has been grades and report cards, which I personally do not love whatsoever.
0:33.4	I just feel like I have been swamped trying to get grades done. And especially with teaching writing this year,
0:40.3	I have learned that grading writing is so much more difficult than grading anything else.
0:45.9	Hands down. And I feel like as soon as I finish grading one assignment, I have another one and I'm trying
0:50.2	to get report card comments done. And it's just, it's been a lot. It's overwhelming.
0:54.4	I totally feel you.

1:11.8	it i feel that i feel the love in the air do you i do have you ever heard the little phrase that
1:18.5	you have to love yourself before you can let someone else love you no oh okay well you're hearing it
1:24.1	but it sounds fantastic and i totally get the point, though.
1:33.1	So a lot of people say that you have to learn how to love yourself before you can allow someone else to love you.
1:43.5	And I think that's the same with us and our students. We have to show love to ourselves, meaning we have to put ourselves first so that we are then able to show love to our students. I relate that a lot to just being a mom.
1:46.4	See, I'm not one of those.
