0:00.0	Well, hello there, top teachers. We are your hosts, Michelle Emerson and Bridget Spackman, and we are here to make
0:06.7	your life easier by helping you master your time, organization, and productivity as a teacher.
0:12.2	This month, we've been talking a lot about exhaustion because it's the perfect summary for how we are
0:17.9	all feeling, but in this episode, we're going to recommend just one single
0:23.8	thing we want you to do before the school year ends because it is the one most important thing

0:39.7	Hello, ladies. I know I can't be alone in this. I've been teaching for 10 years now,
