I think there's something in the air. I had a major medical appointment bumped out a week yesterday, and have had my mom change flights, etc as a result. Massive upheaval!

This is false. Jamal Harrison Bryant, a Megachurch pastor, has said the boycott is over. He is not leaders, plural. He and his church were not the ones to start the calls for boycott. Nekima Levy Armstrong, who founded the Racial Justice Network, and other Minnesota civil rights activists were.

I've done the prep for the classes and their lectures, so I only have to show up on the day of class. I'm deferring new projects until after the deadlines have passed and clearing schedules of low-urgency appointments or meetings (e.g. I bumped my routine dental cleaning out a month).

I have 3 classes, a book launch, and several other events planned that are going to take time, energy, and hard work. Because I see the high-stress season coming, I'm able to take steps in advance. I've got a freezer full of meal-prepped healthy dinners. I have my content scheduled out.

This week, I'm finishing up what I refer to in my book as "fire season" preparations. This aspect of burnout prevention is to anticipate when the circumstances are right to lead to burnout, and take preventative measures. I know March will be busy.
