Re-Tooling TBL

For several years TBL was a blog where I wrote about a wide variety of topics. Those postings are still in the Blog Archive and many are about professional development for engineers. I am now transitioning TBL to be a place where my current and former students can find information related to job searches.

Compartmentalization.

This time of year can be extremely stressful. Especially for students and teachers. A whole year's worth of effort is building to a crescendo. Whether it is May for a student or deadline time for any big project, when life becomes extremely busy, the stress can become overwhelming. The key to survival is to learn to compartmentalize the different parts of your day. The stress of one part of the day shouldn't overflow into the other parts. When it does, the emotional drain compounds.

TBL: When you are at school focus on school, when you are at home focus on home, when you are with the important people in your life focus on them. Don't let the stresses from one part carry over to the other.
