Indeed. Setting reasonable expectations for yourself and others on timing can significantly reduce stress.

Coping with Stress

Dogs often can set great examples for us in coping with stress. For example, dogs stretch regularly. We could learn a thing or two by watching them.

Coping with Stress

The weather can definitely impact our ability and desire to take long walks with pets. But note there are still many activities that we can do inside with pets that also help us cope with stress. Just throwing a rope toy back and forth with your pet, for example, is a great way to take a mental break. Your pet will of course enjoy this break too.

Wow, cutting the grading process in half is fantastic work Lawrence. Sounds like your time spent reformatting was well worth the effort.

Task Prioritization

Great question Lawrence! Most people have the opposite problem. I would recommend getting all of your tasks on that list, including the ones of lesser importance. This way, you'll be able to make better choices on prioritization by seeing everything all at once.
