I feel so uncomfortable bcs i push myself too hard to be available for everyone. But no one happy, no one pleased, including myself. Then i get burn out & not being present in my work. It's really really important to set boundaries. Not just physical boundaries but also emotional, energy, and time boundaries!

My favorite tip is about boundaries and as a person that case managed for several years I made sure not to check my voicemail or emails and to leave work at work so that my personal life Wouldn’t get consumed by work life. The most useful tips for me is about organization and a needs assessment. I need to make sure I have a system of capturing everything that comes my way so that I can use it when the time comes for it to be useful. In the past I been caught up with receiving a good resource but not being able to use it later on because I lost the info.

Hello! This is very helpful. Thank you! This is my second year as a counselor. In my first year I was in an elementary school. I had 1000+ students, 90% minorities, struggling with social adaptation. I took too many responsibilities and I collapsed at the end of the year, with depression, anxiety and lack of motivation. I took myself a sabbatical year, I reorganized my life and developed my self-compassion and now I am a highschool counselor and is way better. It's very important to be very organized and open at school, but when you finish your 8 hours of work you must set firm boundaries and take care of yourself.

All great advice! It is so much harder to learn student's names when they are wearing masks, I can't tell them apart quickly. Can't wait until it's safe for them to be unmasked again!

My counselor submitted my Common App forms weeks late, almost a month. I may not be considered for 10+ schools because of her doing this. What should I do? I am so angry and frustrated.
