Q1 How do you relax over Winter Break? #AWSAconnect

D4Griffin3 Dec 21 @ 9:11 PM EST

It appears we have a common theme of #reading on our list. #AWSAconnect

D4Griffin3 Dec 21 @ 9:12 PM EST

I wish I could sleep 😴 🛏 in but my internal alarm clock ⏰ does not take a break 😅 #AWSAconnect

matthew_arend Dec 21 @ 9:14 PM EST

A2: just passing by, but it seems simple to me to be sure we as ldrs model what we want for the Ts. Step One: Step Away from the Email. #AWSAconnect

KimGriesbach Dec 21 @ 9:15 PM EST

Kim from Shiocton - - Made it home in time for this one! :) #AWSAconnect

D4Griffin3 Dec 21 @ 9:15 PM EST

A2) I share that we must make time for our families. No #EMAILS just enjoy your loved ones. #AWSAconnect

BobbieFrench Dec 21 @ 9:15 PM EST

Having them unplug, out of office email message and NO email messages from me over break. I encourage FAMILY time. Want them rested and ready for 2018 #AWSAconnect

ERTOlson Dec 21 @ 9:15 PM EST

A2: Keep away from the email! Ask them before they leave, "What are you doing for yourself this break?" #AWSAconnect

SarahSajohnson Dec 21 @ 9:16 PM EST

A2: Stay away from email. No new deadlines. Encourage their focus on personal life. #AWSAconnect

Another theme has presented itself in the form of #NoEmails! #AWSAconnect

posickj - Moderator Dec 21 @ 9:17 PM EST

A2 No emails or texts unless emergency. I tell staff in advance as I don't want any from them, either. #AWSAconnect

KimGriesbach Dec 21 @ 9:17 PM EST

I can’t wait to spend time enjoying my family - - especially two of my college kiddos who have arrived back at home base. ❤️ #AWSAconnect

Q3 How do you reflect over Winter Break? #AWSAconnect

D4Griffin3 Dec 21 @ 9:21 PM EST

I think I was intentional to help relieve a little anxiety this week as well. #AWSAconnect

PreK33 Dec 21 @ 9:21 PM EST

#AWSAconnect A1: Baking for my family, spending time with family, relaxing to recharge, and reading..for fun!

In reply to @posickj

BobbieFrench Dec 21 @ 9:21 PM EST

A3- Take time to process first 4 months, plan for a new year! And find my #oneword to drive my year. Maybe even a new blog #AWSAconnect

KimGriesbach Dec 21 @ 9:22 PM EST

A2 By promoting a family first mentality (all year) and by modeling (not sending out emails, not going in, etc.) ~ Time for everyone to recharge and savor time with friends and family. #AWSAconnect

Samuel_Karns Dec 21 @ 9:24 PM EST

I like this theme of finding #oneword for the new year, I’m going to do this too I think 😀 #AWSAconnect

#AWSACONNECT I left everything I had with my Ss on the last day. I came home and cried...

In reply to @posickj

SarahSajohnson Dec 21 @ 9:25 PM EST

A3: Looking forward to using my journal from @JessicaCabeen, writing, and thinking without too much scheduled. Reflection is so important. #AWSAconnect

Q3 How do you reflect over Winter Break? #AWSAconnect

KimGriesbach Dec 21 @ 9:25 PM EST

A3 I always reflect - - especially on my drives in and my drives home. If I get a chance over break, I'd like to begin reading one of my books from a recent convention. Professional reading always causes me to reflect. #AWSAconnect

posickj - Moderator Dec 21 @ 9:27 PM EST

Call to Action- Unplug for at least one day and spend time with family and friends. #AWSAconnect

D4Griffin3 Dec 21 @ 9:27 PM EST

A3) Reading 📖, Talking to others, blogging more, and occasionally viewing #Twitter. #AWSAconnect

ERTOlson Dec 21 @ 9:27 PM EST
