Todd Zakrajsek. University of North Carolina School of Medicine. Key statement: The term “Zoom fatigue” masks other relevant and overwhelming sources of fatigue (life demands, screen, and social) that need to be addressed to restore physical and mental well-being. “You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.” -Inigo Montoya, The Princess Bride.

I am beyond excited to be back in the (virtual) classroom this spring, as I get to teach a course for the first time since spring 2020. I am teaching a remote synchronous PhD class in higher education finance as my first course at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. Department heads here are expected to teach one course per year, and it was great to be asked to teach this course.

How often do you take time to praise and celebrate small wins and accomplishments? Not very often, right? We all have different definitions of what a win, an accomplishment, and success look like. One thing that these all have in common is that they all deserve to be recognized and celebrated. The fast-paced and result-driven society we live in makes it easy for us to complete one task or goal and quickly move on to the next one without taking time to reflect on our efforts.

I started to write this during hour 6 of what ended up being a 10+ hour flight delay-turned cancellation-turned next day reschedule.
