Yes, 15 minutes a day can make such a huge difference Sean - not just on your stress level but on your outlook too!

Task Prioritization

Yes, some instructors work best when we just focus on one thing at a time. It's nice to be able to have a full sense of completion and then move forward to the next task.

Task Prioritization

Yes, it's important not to use technology just for the sake of doing so. Some technology really does have utility for instructors. Other technology is just flashy. Learning the difference and leveraging that which helps us is key.

Coping with Stress

Excellent, sounds like a plan Nancy. Go ahead and start small, then work your way up. It's ok to be reasonable with yourself and what you have time for.

Streamlining the Grading Process

Yes, automated grading would take things to the next level Sean, but it sounds like you've already got a great system in place. Nice work!

Coping with Stress

That sounds really stressful Ralph - particularly about having only 6 hours to eat, sleep and enjoy your family. Sounds like you really need the weekends to recharge.

Coping with Stress

Sounds like a great strategy Tami. Yoga is wonderful. I can't emphasize that enough. It not only reduces stress but really helps with back problems too.

Streamlining the Grading Process

Love the concept "grade as you go" and like that you've named it something too. Sometimes, the best way to socialize a good time management system within your institution is to give it a good name.
