Book excerpt: A practical framework to avoid burnout and keep great teachers teaching Onward tackles the problem of educator stress, and provides a practical framework for taking the burnout out of teaching. Stress is part of the job, but when 70 percent of teachers quit within their first five years because the stress is making them physically and mentally ill, things have gone too far.

This book offers a path to resiliency to help teachers weather the storms and bounce back—and work toward banishing the rain for good. This actionable framework gives you concrete steps toward rediscovering yourself, your energy, and your passion for teaching. You’ll learn how a simple shift in mindset can affect your outlook, and how taking care of yourself physically, mentally, and emotionally is one of the most important things you can do. The companion workbook helps you put the framework into action, streamlining your way toward renewal and strength.

Download or read book Payback written by David P. Barash and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2011-02-01 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the child taunted by her playmates to the office worker who feels stifled in his daily routine, people frequently take out their pain and anger on others, even those who had nothing to do with the original stress. The bullied child may kick her puppy, the stifled worker yells at his children: Payback can be directed anywhere, sometimes at inanimate things, animals, or other people. In Payback, the husband-and wife team of evolutionary biologist David Barash and psychiatrist Judith Lipton offer an illuminating look at this phenomenon, showing how it has evolved, why it occurs, and what we can do about it. Retaliation and revenge are well known to most people. We all know what it is like to want to get even, get justice, or take revenge. What is new in this book is an extended discussion of redirected aggression, which occurs not only in people but other species as well. The authors reveal that it's not just a matter of yelling at your spouse "because" your boss yells at you. Indeed, the phenomenon of redirected aggression--so-called to differentiate it from retaliation and revenge, the other main forms of payback--haunts our criminal courts, our streets, our battlefields, our homes, and our hearts. It lurks behind some of the nastiest and seemingly inexplicable things that otherwise decent people do, from road rage to yelling at a crying baby. And it exists across boundaries of every kind--culture, time, geography, and even species. Indeed, it's not just a human phenomenon. Passing pain to others can be seen in birds and horses, fish and primates--in virtually all vertebrates. It turns out that there is robust neurobiological hardware and software promoting redirected aggression, as well as evolutionary underpinnings. Payback may be natural, the authors conclude, but we are capable of rising above it, without sacrificing self-esteem and social status. They show how the various human responses to pain and suffering can be managed--mindfully, carefully, and humanely.

Download or read book The Anti Burnout Journal written by Bex Spiller and published by David & Charles. This book was released on 2022-01-04 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Banish burnout and reclaim your calm with this innovative 12-week start-anytime journal. Burnout is a state of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion caused by prolonged stress. It occurs when you feel overwhelmed, emotionally drained, and unable to meet constant demands. Burnout has become more than just a buzz word or a symptom of stress. With searches related to burnout rising on average 41% annually since 2017, and 77% of employees saying they've experienced burnout, it's no wonder the World Health Organisation has started to take it more seriously. And that's before the pandemic and working-from-home burnout became even more prevalent. It was these worrying facts and her own experience of burnout that led mental-health advocate Bex Spiller to set up The Anti-Burnout Club, which has grown exponentially since launch in 2021. Bex has witnessed first-hand how burnout isn't just reserved for high-flying execs at FTSE 100 companies. It's creeping into our homes, making it impossible for many of us to cope with all of the demandsof modern life. With this journal, Bex has created a multi-platform solution to a growing problem. Combining people's love for pen and paper with the rise in online wellness apps and platforms, The Anti-Burnout Journal works for traditionalists and technology lovers alike. This undated journal spans 12 weeks with weekly lessons and challenges to help beat burnout, delivered through the pages of the journal alongside an online dashboard with lifetime access to video lessons in yoga, mindfulness, meditation, nutrition and breathwork, can be watched time and again. Alongside the lessons are weekly and daily pages that encourage journaling the more traditional way using everything you've learned. This multi-platform approach makes this journal completely unique and ensures that you can use it in a way that suits you, without feeling more stress or overwhelm. This one-of-a-kind journal is the perfect gift to yourself or someone in need of self-care in this stressful world we live in and promises to help you slow down, reflect, find balance and restore a sense of calm.

Download or read book A World Without Email written by Cal Newport and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2021-03-02 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times bestseller! From New York Times bestselling author Cal Newport comes a bold vision for liberating workers from the tyranny of the inbox--and unleashing a new era of productivity. Modern knowledge workers communicate constantly. Their days are defined by a relentless barrage of incoming messages and back-and-forth digital conversations--a state of constant, anxious chatter in which nobody can disconnect, and so nobody has the cognitive bandwidth to perform substantive work. There was a time when tools like email felt cutting edge, but a thorough review of current evidence reveals that the "hyperactive hive mind" workflow they helped create has become a productivity disaster, reducing profitability and perhaps even slowing overall economic growth. Equally worrisome, it makes us miserable. Humans are simply not wired for constant digital communication. We have become so used to an inbox-driven workday that it's hard to imagine alternatives. But they do exist. Drawing on years of investigative reporting, author and computer science professor Cal Newport makes the case that our current approach to work is broken, then lays out a series of principles and concrete instructions for fixing it. In A World without Email, he argues for a workplace in which clear processes--not haphazard messaging--define how tasks are identified, assigned and reviewed. Each person works on fewer things (but does them better), and aggressive investment in support reduces the ever-increasing burden of administrative tasks. Above all else, important communication is streamlined, and inboxes and chat channels are no longer central to how work unfolds. The knowledge sector's evolution beyond the hyperactive hive mind is inevitable. The question is not whether a world without email is coming (it is), but whether you'll be ahead of this trend. If you're a CEO seeking a competitive edge, an entrepreneur convinced your productivity could be higher, or an employee exhausted by your inbox, A World Without Email will convince you that the time has come for bold changes, and will walk you through exactly how to make them happen.

Here's why: Born in a tiny and isolated village on the island of Haiti, Rene was an impoverished child tormented by illness. Abandoned by his father and left behind while his mother sought work in the city, he survived on breadfruit and the occasional fish he caught with a string and hook. He arrived in the United States with five dollars, two shirts and one pair of pants housed in a tattered briefcase. Worse, he did NOT speak any English. Many would make excuses and see the odds stacked against them, but Rene saw opportunities and a chance to pursue the American Dream. As a self-made man, Rene used his survival skills and natural instincts to defy the challenges ahead of him. He taught himself English one word at a time and read voraciously. As his knowledge increased, his quality of life improved. And he dared to stand up on platforms across North America to urge many to kick their excuses goodbye. Today, as one of America's most sought-after success strategist, Rene is renowned both nationally and internationally. His advice on achieving success has graced the ears of thousands! Armed with a passionate story and a compelling vision to transform lives, Rene exemplifies the essence of resilience! AT&T, Coca-Cola, And Charles Schwab are among the many companies that have sought Rene's winning ideas to impact their bottom line and inspire their teams to accept that no condition is permanent.

Download or read book To Hell with Burnout written by Tim Lambert and published by . This book was released on 2020-03-18 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a fire-fighter's manual for the victims of burnout, focusing as much on prevention as rescue. Exploring both individual and organisational perspectives, the book describes the conditions under which burnout flourishes and those we must create to prevent it. Chapters are punctuated with true stories and case studies, which personalise the experience and enliven it in a sometimes-humorous way. It contains practical strategies to help people regain control of their working lives.Drawing on the authors own professional history, anecdotes and a body of research into the burnout phenomenon, the book explores and explains how burnout devastates those within its grip. I argue that our personal psychology plays a huge role and can, therefore, be our route to redemption. We have become our own worst enemies for not intervening at the right time to take care of ourselves. But the book also recognises the need for collective effort in addressing the causes of burnout, particularly within organisations. Being overworked is a result of taking on too much work, setting expectations too high, forcing unsustainable workloads on others without the right processes and resources to manage them. The first two are within our own control: the other two require a company response. Prevention will always be better than cure, but it is statistically likely that many readers of this book will be suffering from burnout already. For them, the authors own story of how he re-lit his fire, is intended to offer some hope. There is an ancient agricultural practice, still in use, which involves torching swathes of ground to allow new seeds to grow and flourish the next season. This practice of 'controlled burning', kills off undesired weeds and crop residue prior to new planting and in so doing, replenishes and enriches the soil for a better harvest. We can look at burnout in the same way: as a devastating process that marks the end of one state and the start of a new, more fruitful one. It reminds us that recovery is possible, like the Phoenix rising from the ashes.Told over a series of self-contained (though thematically linked) chapters grouped across seven sections, the book takes a no-nonsense and provocative look at burnout. It offers practical suggestions for dealing with it and makes the warning signs highly visible for anyone who's looking. The book explores the journey through burnout, from describing what it is, what you can personally do about it, and how you can engage others in your quest to secure a safe and satisfying working experience. 1.Section One: Introducing the Phenomenon of Burnout2.Section Two: What you can do from a personal and individual perspective to prevent burnout or at least counteract its worst effects. 3.Section Three: Managing the way you interact with co-workers4.Section Four: The conversation with your manager at the point when you feel you need to share your concerns. 5.Section Five: What needs to happen if you reach the point of no return.6.Section Six: The way back from burnout. 7.Section Seven: The organisational perspective, and how leaders can step up to protect their staff from burnout.
