Roxanne here. I've talked to several faculty today who are setting themselves up for a VERY stressful summer. No shame. I've done the same thing to many a summer, as have a ton of my clients.
Although I've NEVER posted a video on the interwebs before, I'm doing so now in hopes it helps folx avoid this mistake.
