Prioritizing stress In the workplace.
My to do lists help me manage stressors on a daily basis. This in turn helps me to priortize more effectively and accomplish the tasks that I've set out to get done.
Yes, and the trick is for instructors who may feel related stress themselves to put that off the side before entering the classroom...so they can attend to the business of the day. If that business happens to include students sharing worries about jobs, the instructor needs to be able to keep the focus on them. Sometimes, just letting students own their concerns is enough; sometimes, basic guided analysis is needed; at other times, referrals to career and personal counseling need to be made. Regardless, the focus must be on student needs--not instructor needs.
The "to do list" goes along with priority. You do first what it is more important, and most of the time goes w/ easy task to more complicated task. Meaning, learning basic first, and advance in order of "priority".
I agree with you, not only does it help in your daily buisness but also helps keeping your students on time with thier class work.
No matter what with my school you only have so much time and if you let your time control get out of hand then you have to rush your student with thier tasks and yours done, both loose.
I have to agree. I have a daily 'to do' list. i put the most important tasks first, then the rest of the tasks. As I complete them, I remove from the list. If there is something that I don't get to finish during the day, that will be the first item on my list to complete the next work day.
