Friends don't change their coffee date with an unemployed friend to a lunch date.
Today is my first day of freedom after what was easily my most challenging semester as a teacher. I won't go into the nitty-gritty details of the last 16 weeks, but I will share what I promised myself in the moment I decided to leave: I will never work in a toxic educational environment that doesn't value teachers, deprofessionalizes the position, and fails to support educators again. I think those three promises really sum up where I'm coming from. Today is the first day of my month off. It would be easy to veg out for the next four weeks before my M.S. program starts and just watch TV and read. Would I feel relaxed? Maybe. However, I wouldn't be exercising my productivity muscle, and it would feel like a slump. Therefore I've set some goals to help me stay focused during this month off. So here they are: Start listening to a podcast Stretch four times per week for 15 minutes each time Meditate every day for 10 minutes (silent or guided) Resear
