Spring Break

Mid-semester “breaks” are interesting in academia. It’s often a chance for us to catch up on tasks that have been languishing. It’s time to focus and get that R&R done, prepare for the remaining classes, or crunch out that committee assignment. Often, it’s time to take care of some neglected tasks around the house. But it’s also essential to take some time to give yourself a break. Stephen Covey stressed the need for us to sharpen our saws. And in today’s challenging environment, keeping our lives in balance is even more important.

So, your assignment this break is to take a break and do something that refreshes you. That brings you joy. Then, next week, when you see me around Beatty, take a moment to tell me what you did. I’d really like to know.

YOU make a difference.

Ponder this with me…
