Glad to hear about your new approach Jamie. It's important to push back when we don't have the bandwidth to complete tasks. Otherwise, we aren't always effective at helping on the tasks we have already committed to.

Task Prioritization

Excellent! So happy to hear you'll take something away from this course Karen. It's a wonderful feeling when tasks are complete. Gives you the ability to focus on other things - fun things in life.

Causes of Stress

Yes, you are right Sandra. Everyone has some cause of stress in their life. It doesn't matter how much money or time we have. Stress will happen. It's how we deal with it that defines us.

Task Prioritization

Sounds like you have already developed an excellent system Graham. I like how you include both personal and professional tasks on one list. It's nice to be able to see the full landscape of your responsibilities in one place. I also like the way you divide up these tasks into two places on your list. This can tell you if the tasks in one area of your life are taking too much time.

Streamlining the Grading Process

You bring up a good point Aprilyn. When we rely on automated systems, they sometimes produce errors. As instructors, we need to focus on identifying and correcting those errors early.
