REFOCUS...

Hi Kenneth,
Good question that is difficult to answer completely since much of the response depends on so many different factors. Set priorities is a commonly used theme when dealing with stress and being overworked. Getting organized is another. Is it possible to be more efficient in the way to conduct your classes, how about the same for your full time work?
I have found that by creating a easy to access set of files both online and hard copy I am able to spend much less time getting my handouts and tests ready. This way I can concentrate on more on developing new activities and assignments for my courses.
Also, try and set some time aside for yourself where you can take a deep breath and just relax if only for a few minutes. If you keep going full bore you start to lose your effectiveness and your ability to stay focused.
Reward yourself for completing a project at work or a phase of your course(s) by taking an evening off. You will be amazed at how good this can make you feel about jumping back into the work.
Don't know if any of the above suggestions match our needs but I hope they help. I will be glad to share additional ideas if you have more specifics that you want to share.
Gary
