2:15 – 3:15 “The Game of Time”: Practical Wellness Strategies for Professionals Oftentimes, professionals in education provide service to others regarding how to take care of themselves, stress management, time management, etc.; while sometimes overlooking the very same concepts for themselves when schedules are full and days become long. It’s time to “pause” the clock and help ourselves be the best we can be for both ourselves and students we serve through the use of practical strategies such as living by our values, becoming organized, learning different ways to problem solve, making simple changes to our work area, and incorporating fun into our day!
