"When I have a large workload, I do not stress over the tasks in front of me. Rather, I organize my tasks based on high and low priority. I complete the higher priority first. Through this system, I can focus on my tasks individually, rather than stress out by them."
"My workload is always packed but consistent. The only time it gets hectic is if we've had a lot of assessments and I've gotten behind in grading. My work schedule leaves no room for error; I have a class starting when the previous one ends. So, I am accustomed to having an incredibly full workload."
