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.
We need to have some type of daily plan that will allow us to manage our time effectively but built into that plan should be options and methods of dealing with obstacles that will inevitably come up.
What do you think about combined class participation? (Not possible for all cases)
For example, Having health groups (Dental/Pharmacy Technician)share a LAB preparing Dental Paste. This not only reduces the stress level as two instructors are present to manage the class. But, the positive is students will learn how to work together while gaining hands-on experience.
This is true Deandra. We've got to make sure that our time spent organizing does not add an extra layer of stress to our lives. We've also got to understand that sometimes we need to invest a little up front energy to get a nice return downstream. The up front part can be stressful.
