Summary

There is something about summertime and the heat, especially, that seems to zap the energy out of you. Let’s be honest, who wouldn’t want to spend their days lounging around the pool reading a great book. However, the lazy days seem to bleed together leaving you feel unproductive and ill-prepared for the upcoming school year. We are in a new season of our life. Yes, we are talking about summer, but it is also important to know that seasons also relate to where we are in our lives; the circumstances that we are currently living in. With each season, both literally and figuratively, it’s important to change our routines to fit the needs we have at that particular point and time. We want to share our motivating and energizing summer routine that has allowed us to create structure and feel as though we are accomplishing goals but also enjoying our summer. OUR WALK STORY OUR WHY HOW THIS FITS INTO OUR DAY TIPS TO ENERGIZING AND MOTIVATING YOUR SUMMER ROUTINE CONCLUSION Keep in mind that we are not perfect in fact we have had a handful of times where we have to listen to our bodies and just rest. There is nothing wrong with that! The purpose of this is to make sure that you are making the most of your summer and to make sure that you have taken steps to feeling ready for the beginning of the school year.

0:00.0	Well, hello there, top teachers. We are your host, Bridget Spackman and Michelle Farray, and we're here to make
0:06.4	your life easier by helping you master your time, organization, and productivity as a teacher.
0:12.8	It's finally summer, guys, and one of the things that really helps us from burning out as teachers
0:18.3	is to really take some time away from school. Now, we obviously have a lot of
0:24.1	other responsibilities and passions. For instance, Michelle and I have grad school. Well, she doesn't anymore.
0:30.4	I was going to say, I've done grad school. Congratulations, you grad school graduate. But we have the podcast. we have product creation, and that tends to take up
0:40.8	a lot of our summer. Now, keep in mind that I know that Michelle and I are talking about a lot of different
0:45.9	business things, and you might not have that in your life, but you might have different
0:49.7	passions or responsibilities that you typically like to do over the summer. So for instance,
0:56.8	you might be really into art. And so therefore, you might be doing a lot more art projects over
1:02.4	this summer. I know for me personally, I spend a lot of my summertime doing fitness-related
1:08.1	things. I am very passionate about fitness. And I think time in the summer

1:24.7	summer. I'm going to stop back and I'm going to reflect and I'm going to say, oh my gosh, I literally got nothing done. Where did the summer go? Because, guys, let's be
1:32.3	honest, it goes by really, really fast. So we want to walk away feeling really good about ourselves at
1:39.6	the end of the summer. So we're going to share our summer routine that has really allowed us to continue
1:45.5	being productive. Yeah, and keep in mind, when we say productive, we don't mean working all the time.
1:51.2	We mean doing those things that we're very passionate about. But first, I'm going to share a TSAH
1:56.8	or a time-sucking hurdle from Natasha. So Natasha says her time-sucking hurdle is teacher chats.
2:03.1	And she asked us a question. So I think we should actually respond to this. She said,
2:06.5	how do you get out of the chatting without feeling left out or like the antisocial teacher?
