The campus where I work has established a class room dress code. The purpose of the dress code is to establish a "professionnal persona".

You can control your own time by adhering to a flexible but prioritized time schedule both in and out of the class room and out. I am a great advocate of efficient list or checklists. It really keeps me on tract and relatively stress free.

YOUR Time

Find time for yourself to do what you want to do, where you want to do it. Walks on the beach work best for me.

Your time should be YOUR time

When taking the opportunity to de-stress, use the time for your own stress relieving needs. Find a quiet place where you will not be disturbed, go to the library, go for a walk on the beach (if you're in Florida), make it YOUR time!
