00:00 Hi, I'm Melissa Kennedy and I'm a teacher at Edmund Rice College, Wollongong.
00:07 Here is my new book, The Sustainable Teacher, and I have some top tips for anybody in any
00:13 profession to work more sustainably.
00:16 Firstly, plan intentionally.
00:19 Be clear about what, how and why you're doing something.
00:22 Avoid planning more than you need to.
00:25 Then cultivate joy.
00:28 Celebrate fun, happy and goofy moments.
00:31 They're the glue that keep you and everybody else motivated.
00:37 Then respect boundaries.
00:40 It's really important that we respect the boundaries of ourselves and other people because
00:45 cross wires and over commitment suck time and energy.
00:49 Together we can all work more sustainably.
