Summer check in ➡️ does your workplace support you speaking up about your needs?
I'm a summer girl, it's my favorite time of the year, and I've had the best memories of my life happen in the summer!
Right now I work full time in a school (in addition to my consulting role). It's a 12 month position but summers look a bit different from Sept - June.
The summer is where I find my balance, I don't over do it, I don't push the productivity until I crack, I prioritize wellness, fun, travel, spending time near water, and with the ones I love.
With that said, sometimes when fall comes around I feel like I'm tripling my productivity which can often lead to feelings of exhaustion or burnout by the holidays.
It's something I've been working on, and have gotten better at over the years. Knowing my own tendencies is crucial, it helps me prepare for the waves so I can effectively ride them.
I'm lucky to have leadership that I feel comfortable communicating my needs with. As for the consulting work, I know when to scale back on bookings and when to load up the calendar.
How do you balance productivity and express your needs?
