After completing the tutorial, I have realized that though I set goals for myself to improve my performance, I should set more specific goals. Instead of "I need to get grading done faster," my goal should be more specific, for instance, "I need to complete all grading within 4 days of the due date." Another example might be instead of reminding myself that I need to give more positive feedback to my students, I should instead make a daily goal of giving positive feedback to at least 5 of my students each day.

After taking this tutorial, I have learned that the majority of my stress comes from factors outside of work, but they affect my performance AT work. I intend to implement stress reducing stratagies at home, including waking up earlier and going for walks in order to start my days with a de-stresser and then provide myself with more time to get my domestic responsibilities accomplished so that my stress level does not carry over from my home into my job.
