#overcommited

You know that moment where it hits you just how much you've taken on? And how much of that was volunteer versus voluntold?

What I have ahead of me, in a nutshell:

-Lead Mentor

-mentor of a new teacher

-university cooperating teacher

-8 students with emotional and behavioral disabilities

-3 grade levels of curriculum

-Behavior Core Team chair

Not too early in the year for, shall we say, less-than flattering personal revelations - apparently. It's easy for me to let myself get spread thin and then have to pull back from this or that. And I'm not crazy about the subtle (though not at all meant) arrogance a statement like that can infer, either. But, there it is. This is one of the main reasons my 2017 is about focus. Because sometimes the this or that is a person, and people can be hurt. Not cool. And good intentions are rarely the substance of good apologies. So. I've got to hem the big parts in - my attention and resources and energy - and concentrate them more effectively… pretty sure there's a word for this. [=
