Today I went to school and kind of cleaned up my classroom so I don’t have to go there again for a while. For the past couple of days, since I typed up my list of to- and not-to-dos, I’ve been focusing more on this experiment. It gets to be evening and I go, “Oh, just go take a walk. Then you can check that off.” or “Finish drinking your bottle of water. You know you need to.”
I’m coming around, I think. There remain a few things that I haven’t gotten started yet, but I have faith that I will. Next on my list is the Shiva Nata practice. I think I’ll get that going tonight. Check.

I’m not going back to school until next week. I need some time away from the place. The longer I teach, the more time I need to be away. I didn’t understand that when I started teaching and would see veteran teachers leaving for the whole summer. Now I do. It takes longer to recharge the batteries. But, I will be back next week, cleaning off hard drives and reloading the yearbook software for next year.

I agree, it does take time to recharge. I know I’m getting there when I start thinking of school projects without being pressured to do so!
