8. Robertsons Rules 1.Be efficient 2.Give time to what you value 3.Share responsibility 4.Be mindful of time and place 5.Balance quality and quantity of interactions 6.Refer students to relevant support services

9. 1. Be efficient Clearly communicate lines in sand to students Use technology effectively Dont over-prepare for courses! (Boice) – Set early deadlines – Avoid binge prep sessions – Sketch out informal ideas during brief periods of free time – Prepare in brief, regular sessions – Know when to stop

10. 2. Give time to what you value Identify major areas of your faculty work and assign weights Figure out how much time you have to devote to your faculty work Do the math – 50 hours per week Teaching/advising 50% = 25 hours Research: 30% = 15 hours Service: 10% = 5 hours Professional development: 10% = 5 hours

11. 3. Share responsibility Dont over-teach (Noyd) – Balance challenge and support – Use mindful interventions Utilize NIFs (non-teacher instructional feedback) – Peer – Self – Technology

12. 4. Be mindful of time and place Do the math again for teaching – 25 hours per week Course prep = 6 hours Classroom time = 9 hours Evaluation/feedback = 6 hours Office hours/advisement = 4 hours – Adjust to rhythm of the semester Find the right place to conduct each activity

13. 5. Balance quality and quantity of interactions Be smart about how you use email Do not provide immediate access outside of open door periods Communicate with students how they should communicate with you

14. 6. Refer students to relevant support services Dont be a counselor Dont be a copy editor Dont be a technology support person Dont be a librarian

15. Right now Im having amnesia and déjà vu at the same time. I think I have forgotten this before. –Steven Wright

16. Resistance to Change Think about one change you would like to make in how you you manage your time What is the main barrier to making that change? What is the guiding assumption behind this barrier? Is this assumption true? If it is true, does its value give it priority over changing how you manage your time?

17. Concluding Thoughts What has most struck you during this session? Is there anything we have not discussed? Is there anything that is still unclear or unanswered? What could have made this session more effective or efficient?
