In this case narrative, Peter, an experienced principal in a new school board and school, is struggling to keep up with the day-to-day challenges at his school and to achieve work--life balance. Challenges include: (a) small changes in the school can that demand some of his time; (b) daily unintended interruptions that are draining his time and energy; (c) feeling overwhelmed, which causes feelings of hopelessness and despair; and (d) the demands of long daily work hours that are affecting his family life and his ability to maintain a healthy lifestyle. The case includes teaching notes and two activities--exploring the difference between time and energy management, completing an energy management audit, and devising a plan and strategies to restore and replenish energy--that instructors can use in graduate-level courses and professional development workshops.
