I often describe myself as a “recovering administrator”.  I’ve never regretted being an administrator and still miss many aspects of it.  I like problem-solving and I like creating a positive/empowering work environment for my staff. 

What I almost never enjoyed was the myriad of meetings and committee work.  And I know you sometimes find it a struggle as well.  I’m sure all of. Us have had days of nothing but meetings.  I can’t think of anything more mentally exhausting to go through.  Much of the meeting and committee culture is well-intentioned, but it consumes valuable time with limited results.
