Prioritizing

Prioritizing is key in my ability to be efficient. I don't always write it down, but I am always mentally listing and reprioritizing my day. I get extremely stressed out when things are not efficient.

Maintenance

It can be so difficult to find time for yourself with all go the demands that are placed on us. I started with 4 minutes a day. It was extremely difficult, as patience is not my virtue, to sit still that long and be quite, and not do anything...meditate. But. I forced myself to be still, and have no worked my way up to 15 minutes, slimmer abs, a glowing complexion, less wrinkles, more energy, and less feelings of stress. I refuse not to find 15 minutes for myself.

Acclimating

I recently moved to a new city. I am trying to acclimate to a new climate, culture, job, entire lifestyle. It's been stressful.

Making Time for Myself

I have found that making time for myself has been extremely helpful in increasing the efficiency of my output at both work and home. I started by allotting 15 min to myself everyday. In this 15 minutes, I do whatever pleases me most. It's my 5 minutes! I have earned it! No phones are answered, no demands met outside of my own. Give it a try!

Stress relief

At my last job I had so much stress that I had to start medication to help me cope. Since elimating that stressor and getting a different job I am doing so much better. I really enjoyed this education.

Change of attitude from high school to college mentality

I teach a lot of 18,19, and early 20 somethings, most of which have not gone to college elsewhere. I can tell that a lot of the problematic students still think they are in high school, and act like I am an authority figure they must deal with - instead of an expert in a place they have chosen to be. Anyone have any tips on this one? Thanks! Brian

4 Step Model for Successful Classroom Management

Specifically Step 3: Proactive Techniques work well for me. I move around the front of the room and I can barely talk without using gestures & vocal inflections! This course helped me to move around the classroom into the ranks of the tables & desks which I thought would intimidate students but they are receptive! I try to always greet the students coming into class, it makes them feel a little special to be acknowledged in a polite manner, no matter their age. I've learned that proactive techniques really do preventing problems.

Learning Rationale

It is so very important, especially for adult learners, that they have a desire to learn what is expected of them. Someone needs to have a genuine desire for the course content. When one has such a desire, it makes learning much more enjoyable and, more importantly, relatable. It also vital that adult learners see their instructors being excited about the profession they have chosen!

Coping with Stress

I always had problems dealing with stress. I find myself grinding my teeth and having trouble remembering. I have started to exercise again and found some relief. This module has a lot of great ideas, most I have heard of before. Overall, it was a great refresher.
