Causes of Stress

That's a tough one. There are some professions that we can't talk about when at home. If you'd like someone to lean on, try finding someone to talk to who is working in your field.

Task Prioritization

Task Prioritization

Yes, that's a common problem Gina. It's often tempting to complete easy tasks first. It's ok to knock out a few of these tasks but eventually we've got to work on complex and less desirable tasks too.

Task Prioritization

Yes, finding a routine is a great strategy Dawn. Each semester as classes change, we have to adapt what we do. But it doesn't take too long before we have things down.
