Over 90% of Finnish teachers remain in education for entirety of career. We don’t have 90% make it through one year. They also teach 50% less hours with remainder for planning, multiple recesses, autonomy at school level, limited teacher eval's & are treated like professionals!

The top 7 ideas on my mind heading into 2023:

The arrival fallacy.
Overrating intensity and underrating consistency.
Behavioral activation.
Balancing acceptance and progress.
Digital sabbath.
Taking the work seriously, but yourself not so much.
Embracing all of life.

In Murphy's Law, the competitive balance gap in Iowa high school sports keeps widening. We see the same schools winning over and over. Meantime, participation declines among the discouraged.

Time for uncomfortable conversations.

The world is littered with hacks and quick fixes.

Magic routines, butter in our coffee, special supplements, exotic foods. All promising to transform our lives.

Nearly all of it is BS.

Here are 15 science-backed "hacks" that actually work:

Stressed? Try a "psychological sigh," termed by Stanford neuroscientist @hubermanlab:
- Two short inhales through the nose
- One long exhale through the mouth
- Repeat one to three times

What makes a champion?

An analysis of over 6,000 athletes found distinct differences between those who made it to world-class versus those who didn't progress from child star.

This latest trend to lower the requirements to be a teacher is nuts.

We need to raise the status of the profession, not lower it. We need teachers to be valued.

Right now they are underpaid, undersupported, and overworked.

Thread on why lowering requirements is dumb:

[Steve Magness @stevemagness]

Making teaching a low-status profession will have prolonged negative ramifications for decades to come.

When you constantly demean a profession, and politicians paint you as "indoctrinators", you push talented people out & discourage the next generation of educators.

The great resignation is real. People quit their jobs in mass.

One reason, it was actually 'the great reshuffle.'

People realized their job sucks and searched for something better.

Cultivate an environment that has these characteristics:

1. A challenging but supportive environment
2. The ability to take risks & voice your opinion without fear being the sole motivator
3. A path that shows the way for growth & improvement
4. Creates a sense of belonging

[Brad Stulberg @BStulberg]

Fake toughness: pumping out chest, intimidating on message boards, going till you puke, bragging about all nighters, and so on.

Real toughness: the ability to make decisions under distress that align with your values.
