Does this sound like you?

You wake up already thinking about everything you need to do.

Your prep periods fly by, but somehow your to-do list never gets shorter.

You stay late...or bring work home...or spend the evening thinking about everything you didn't get done.

You love your students, but lately you find yourself getting frustrated more easily.

You want to be present with your family, but your brain is still in your classroom.

You tell yourself this is "just how teaching is."

I used to believe that too.
