0:00.0	Well, hello there, top teachers. We are your hosts, Michelle Emerson. And Bridget Spackman, and we are here to make
0:07.2	your life easier by helping you master your time, organization, and productivity as a teacher. Get ready. It's
0:13.5	going to be a chatty episode. We are going to be playing accountability buddies for each other.
0:18.7	We're taking a look back at the goals we set at the beginning of
0:22.1	2023. Remember that. We're going to do a check-in since we're technically at the end of
0:27.4	quarter one. So buckle in, prepare for some honest conversations, some good, some bad,

1:36.5	meeting, better known as the complaint session, or as I like to make it the possible solutions

1:46.4	as I feel like I'm a productive and ready, how do I squish the reactive discussion so that I can
1:52.5	get back to my power list and teaching? Thank you so very much. Okay. First of all, Melissa,
