Handling stress and time management go hand in hand to me. I have a very difficult time saying "no". I am getting better and I held my ground this past quarter for the most part I did not let them turn in really late work, or give me all their excuses under the sun. I felt much better about the end of the quarter not trying to grade all the late work that students had turned in to me. I have trouble finding that line to helping the student succeed and learn and have policies that will hurt those that procrasinate and expect me to grade work that is many weeks late. It was much less stressful, not completely stress free with those that still wanted to turn in work that was 5+ weeks late (which I did not accept). But I was able to stick to me policy and am considering make it no work later than 1 week.
