    A1: 50/50 balance is tough, especially as a principal. Using the new year to rebalance life inside and outside of school. #iaedchat

  • MrStevenKerr Jan 15 @ 9:08 PM EST

  • ERTOlson Jan 15 @ 9:08 PM EST
    A1: It's great in theory, but the application is a struggle. You have to be deliberate & learn to prioritize. First things first! #iaedchat

    I'm terrible at keeping a balance between work/life as a new 1st grade teacher. The planning and preparing never stops. #IAedChat
  • townsleyaj - Moderator Jan 15 @ 9:09 PM EST
    A1: Balance may not mean 50/50 daily…. It means you give some and you take some. You make all parts of your life work together. #IAedChat
  • LinesScience Jan 15 @ 9:09 PM EST
    A1. When I set a time to leave the school, I have to obey it! I make plans after school so I'm forced to leave some days. #iaedchat
  • posickj Jan 15 @ 9:09 PM EST
    A1 I think it should be life/work balance. And getting to 50/50 would be awesome. I'm probably more 70/30. Work to do. #iaedchat

  • brianrozinsky Jan 15 @ 9:10 PM EST
    A1 Skeptical 50/50 balance exists. If it does, I suspect it's asymptote: Can be approached via constant adjustment, never reached #iaedchat
