One of the keys to achieving balance is embracing the concept of "flow." Flow is a state of mind where you are fully immersed in an activity, feeling energised and focused. It's when you lose track of time because you are so engaged in what you're doing. This state of flow is not only productive but also inherently satisfying.

I am back to share with you more thoughts on term breaks, why we need them, and how to make them beneficial.

This is unsustainable. this is one of the reasons educators are leaving the profession. However, this is sadly...
