Task management with less stress

Task managing should not be stressful. The things that you know you already have in order should be reviewed for changes and then all other task at hand should be prioritized. Each week I make a list and review it on Wednesday to make sure that the rest of the week will still go as according to plan. This will allow me to anticipate any changes and adjustment that need to be made for the week ahead.

no-homework Ned

I had a student in my last class that didn't do any of the homework and was late to most, if not all of the classes. It was a one night a week class in a 6 week term. I feel I gave him every opportunity to make up his work and yet on the last day of class he still had nothing for me. If it weren't for the homework, he would have passed the class. Any suggestions on what else I could have done?
