We make countless choices to change how we interact with our job. Each of these choices influences how we feel about teaching. Psychologists call these choices "job crafting." Job crafting, say psychologists Amy Wrzesniewski and Jane E. Dutton, is the actions employees take to redesign their work in order to foster engagement, satisfaction, resilience, and thriving. This means being intentional about how we engage with the tasks, people, and purpose that compose our careers.

Approach 1: Craft the "What"

Renew a Task

Outsource

Approach 2: Craft the "Who"

Massage That Extrovert or Introvert

Mentor a Student

Approach 3: Craft the "Why"

Focus on Service
