Jasmine Plott writes: “I love teaching legal research; it’s my favorite part of my job. However, I’m not always great with boundaries, and this realization came to me in the spring 2025 semester. I was juggling being a new mother, teaching legal research, and, if I had the time, taking care of myself. I overextended myself in many ways: late nights, communicating with students at all hours, and experiencing overwhelming feelings of burnout and stress. How could I still show up for my students while also taking care of myself? I saw a solution in creating more effective boundaries.”
