I'm going to give you some seemingly silly advice. YOU should have "recess". Growing research indicates that a lot of "learning challenges" (ADHD/ADD, behavior problems, test scores, the ability to focus, and more) are being positively impacted by schools that have reintroduced "recess". You will be MUCH more effective at everything you do if you have some play-time, you'll find that your quality of life improves as well. Some people call this taking care of yourself. Not only should you take care of yourself, but I challenge you to go a step further and take care of your "mate" as well. (Some of you are too young to have one yet, but someday you will, and you should start learning about this now.) For those of you with a life-partner, spouse, fiance, etc., I encourage you to have a night for each of you to recharge yourselves, and a night to recharge your relationship. If you're having a difficult time with the math, that means that three nights of every week are scheduled. One night you get to take care of yourself and your mate takes care of the kids, one night you take care of the kids and your love takes care of him/her-self, and one night you spend together taking care of your relationship. You can't get very far if your tank is empty, so keep filling it up. While I'm preaching, I like to add that it's also important to worship together and as a family.
