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.

00:53 [no dialogue]
