The next day grading expectation sounds tough Heather. I would suggest setting expectations at the beginning of the semester for how long it will take for students to get exams back.

Task Prioritization

Sounds excellent Dana! It's great to create rules or guiding principles for ourselves and how we manage our time. We can't always follow them, but it's nice to have that kind of structure.
