Lists actually amke things MORE stressful, as they are a constant reminder of what, supposedly, needs to be accomplished. An instructor doesn't have all that many varying tasks, and those same tasks are repeated each and every term. How could one forget them? Why would one need a list to remember their duties? Does a policeman make lists, too?… >>>
