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.

99% of the faculty I work with make this one mistake when planning for summer. And it costs them big. I break the mistake down AND how to avoid it here.
