LTGR Ep. #60 – “Time Management”
Susan and Dan talk about time management. They share their own personal struggles but offer solutions and thoughts about how this relates to online teaching, learning, and work in general.
Show Notes:
In the spirit of keeping things short, these notes are abbreviated.
Faculty:
Organizing is the underpinning.
Schedule time to work on the class.
Establish a routine.
Deal with the unexpected (acknowledge and then come back later, if that works for you).
Students:
Look for private correspondence from instructor
Check the gradebook
Check the discussions to see where you might contribute
Establish a routine of what to do when you get into the course on a regular basis (similar to faculty)
Anyone:
Prevent time loss from following additional links and resources by putting those links somewhere and following up later.
Block out time for reading.
Save files and repurpose when you can
Corporate Side:
Use the mobile phone judiciously
Continuous partial attention – not a good thing
Focus and block out distractions
Self-awareness; knowing your peak
Make the tools serve you
