3. First Things: Know Thyself How are you actually spending your time? Perception â reality . . . go research yourself! Gather data.
13. At its most fundamental level, managing time intentionally is about consciously choosing between two (or many more) good things. It is about making difficult choices and committing ourselves to those choices. Most profoundly, using time intentionally is about values conflict, discernment, and commitment. Time is a resource: we must learn to invest our time in what we valueâand to say ânoââ in correspondence with our deepest priorities. - Douglas Robertson
14. Reconcile Values with Realities Identify the Major Areas of Your Life Include areas you value but neglect Assign times for each area There are 168 hours in a week. Work: _____ hrs / wk Family: _____ hrs / wk Health / Exercise: _____ hrs / wk Community Work: _____ hrs/ wk Sleep: _____ hrs / wk
15. Identify the Major Areas of Your Faculty Work Assign a Weight to Each Area Do the Math (for weeks, months, semesters, or years) For example: Work: 52 hrs/week* Teaching and advising: 70% = 36.4 hrs/wk Service: 20% = 10.4 hrs/wk Professional development: 10% = 5.2 hrs/wk
16. Keep doing the math Teaching: 36.4 hrs/week -5 office hrs -12 class hours (4 courses x 3 contact hrs each) = 19.4 hrs for preparation and feedback / 4 courses = 4.9 prep & grading hrs / course / wk
17. Translate Values to Your Calendar Use a âSunday Meetingâ to block out your week. Kerry Ann Rockquemore, The Sunday Meeting  Block your time commitments on weekly calendar (hard commitments + values) Create Your To-Do List Map Your Tasks Onto Your Time Realize that You have More Tasks than Time Make Hard (but Conscious) Decisions

19. If not: Whatâs your block? What prevents you?Write: Scribble your thoughts on a piece of paper. Think / Write
20. . . . with time to spare Preparing to Teach
21. Why Less is More Good teaching â covering as much content as possible If your primary goal is to be comprehensive, you will probably: Generate more material than you can actually cover Present material at a pace too fast for student participation or deep engagement Spend lots of time in painstaking preparation
22. Some numbers, from the research: Faculty who focus primarily on providing comprehensive content tend to spend 10-15+ hrs / week per class (includes prep, teaching, ofc hrs) Or 40-60+ hrs / week for a 4-course load 3:1 - 4:1 ratio of prep time to classroom teaching time In spite of this hard work, these faculty often encounter: Unengaged students Poor student comprehension Mediocre student ratings Personal distress
23. Traitsof time-effective faculty According to Boiceâs studies, successful new faculty achieve: 2:1 ratio of prep time to class time High levels of student involvement in class (taking notes, asking questions, engaging in discussions) Moderately paced lecturing that allows students to take notes and comprehend points Brief, tentative lecture notes Work without rushing and busyness
24. More time ïč better teaching In fact . . . Too much prep can diminish the quality of your teaching. Note to self: Conscientious teaching does not require constant exhaustion.
25. Strategy 1: Prepare Reflectively âA growing reflectiveness, especially in terms of audience awareness, helps simplify teaching materials to their most memorable and connectable essentials. As teachers grow more calm and contemplative, they more often organize lectures and discussions into a few central points they hope to make for the day. They replace the additional points they were tempted to make with more examples and applications of the central points.â (Boice, Advice for New Faculty, 23)
26. Distinguishing the essential from the inessential Draft clear goals for student learning (learning objectives) Reflect on your learning objectives Consider how they apply to the material at hand Consider ways to âcut to the chaseâ
27. Solve the âright problemâ âResearch distinguishes expert problem solvers as people who take time to pause and to consider alternatives, who make sure they are solving the right problem or answering the right question.â (Boice 24)
28. Bonuses: âA slower, more deliberate style of preparing and presenting leaves teaching materials less rigidly structured and more creative, exciting.â (Boice 24) Simpler teaching notes, organized around essential points and directions, lead faculty to spend less time looking at notes, and more time eliciting student involvement and comprehension. Reflective teaching can lead faculty to say things more directly , simply, or memorably.
29. Strategy 2: Prep early and informally Use pauses in other activities to think about teaching ideas Begin collecting and connecting materials long before formal planning begins: put notes into files, rearrange ideas and categories in files, look for illustrative cases, tentatively arrange materials for classroom presentation Do prewriting or preplanning activities, like creating rough drafts of conceptual outlines, then successively revising these Talk through their ideas with others or into a recorder Set early deadlines for completing preparations
30. Outcomes of early, informal starts â[efficient] participants translated their prewritten and pre-diagrammed notes into class notes well before the [inefficient] nonparticipants began preparing their classes of similar dates. [These] participants [spent] less total time [ . . .] getting ready for class, usually a savings of at least half the time spent preparing by matched nonparticipants.â (25)
31. Strategy 3: Prep in brief, regular sessions Do teaching work in brief, regular sessions âInitiating early work in sessions so brief they necessitate no major scheduling of days. Only later, when early preparations are habitual, are they more formally scheduled.â Starting âearly, before feeling in the mood . . .. One common way of instilling momentum is freewriting; another is rewriting the last part of notes or conceptual outlines produced in the prior session.â
32. Brief, regular sessions . . . â. . . keep efforts unpressured, reflective, constant, and timely. â . . . keep teaching prep limited to durations that do not interfere with other important activities during the rest of the day, such as exercising, social life, and scholarly writing.â
33. Avoid the costs of long, uninterrupted work sessions (1) âthe scenario of working under pressure and excitement until hypomania and its sequelae of sadness and disinterest set in, (2) the inefficiencies of preparing materials beyond the point of diminishing returns, and (3) the inconstancy of working that bingers evidenceâ (Boice 40). How to fit them in? Allot daily time. Schedule them if necessary.
