- Great Organizational Skills: Begin the day with priorities, and a list of TODOS. Do the most difficult first.
- Delegate: Share the work load with others, and nurture budding leaders.
- Let the Criticism “roll off”: Just “smile and wave” 🙂
- Reflection: This is a must! Make time for quiet reflection throughout the day.
- Sense of Humor: IF YOU DON’T HAVE THIS–RETHINK YOUR VOCATION.
- Connection with Peers: This can be done through your PLN (professional learning network) or other educational leaders within your district or region. Schedule time to meet with them regularly.
- Be Flexible: Walk away at the end of the day. You’ll never get it all done.
- Stay Active: Get outside, go to the gym, keep moving!
