Stress Reduction
Sometimes I will watch TV while I grade papers. It helps me reduce stress.
Yes, I agree! Pointless and yet engaging activities can be a great way to unwind.
I find that doing something fun and meaningless helps
Absolutely! Great approach Freda and I benefit from it too!
Taking a few minutes of total quiet time every day helps me to relieve stress.
I have a my dog to help me relax and wind down... My dog forces me to get outside move around, and just play a little with him so that for a few minutes I am just hanging with the little fellow
simple pray helps get me through the day its refreshing
Fred,
Wish I could multi-task like that - but I find that I'm not focussed enough on the assignments and grading if I have the t.v. on or radio on or whatever. I have to grade and focus in silence (at least grading papers, projects, assignments, etc.)
Thanks,
Toni
This is true William. For many instructors, getting personal time no matter what the cost is critical - even if it means losing a little sleep.
Taking out personal time after the to do list is done so you can concetrate on your personal time is important, even if its late and i lose some sleep.
That's a great way to get a little entertainment while working too Fred! I know many instructors who do the same.
