Hi Elle,
I wanted to give some insight on the topic because I am in the same position you are. Currently a senior at Wright State University for education and this topic is something I think about often. Some tools that I think about when thinking of burnout are successful teachers know when to say 'no' and protect their personal time. This might mean setting specific hours for when you'll work at school and when you'll leave work behind. It's easy to take home grading and lesson planning, but learning to separate work and personal life is essential for maintaining mental and emotional health. Prioritizing tasks based on deadlines and importance can help reduce stress. Breaking down big projects (like lesson planning or grading) into smaller chunks helps to make them more manageable. I couldnt live without my planner as well, so making sure I am staying on top of due dates and the work that I can get done in the time frame is crucial. I hope I was able to provide some insight on this topic. Good luck!
