The demands of academia coupled with your responsibilities while adulting may leave you feeling drained, static (even though you are going and going) and unfulfilled. Journaling is a powerful step towards changing all of that. It has been shown to improve your mood, lower blood pressure, and even help you sleep better. Journaling can spark creativity, improve mindfulness to reduce stress, boost self-awareness, and help you identify negative thought patterns. Can you believe that? Consequently, it only makes sense to designate a journal just for your work experience. The Professor's Week in Review allows you to reflect on various aspects of being a higher educator at the end of each week. It includes 16 weeks of focus on six areas-your wins, your concerns, your approaches, your lessons (learned), your action plan, and your gratitude. The final pages of the journal include a list of resources and checklists devoted to reflection on self-care, professional development, research interests, and faculty and committee meetings. - Welcome - Make This Journal Work for You - Getting Started - 16 Weeks of Focus on Your Wins, Your Concerns, Your Approaches (Instructional), Your Lessons (Learned), Your Action Plan, & Your Gratitude - Closing the Semester - New Semester Hopes - Resources and Checklists (9 pages) ​
