Self-care and preventing burnout, whether we are working on campus or at home during a pandemic, are significant professional concerns. This presentation describes the practical self-care strategy of intentionally building awareness of work habits to increase understanding of how different types of work influence our energy levels. By using our calendars as a way to openly examine our workdays and reflecting on the impact that a variety of workplace endeavors have on personal wellbeing, we can take agency to make small changes in our days for a positive influence on our energy levels, engagement, and quality of life.
Join Kari Mofford (Health Services and Engineering Librarian, UMass Dartmouth Library) and Kimberly Burke Sweetman (Associate Dean of the University Library, University of New Hampshire) will discuss the importance of and how to reflect on their scheduling to identify long-term and short-term changes that will help in preventing burnout and creating a healthier schedule. Participants will also consider the degree to which they have control over their calendar, as acknowledging this reality is helpful in creating a mindful approach.
