Details

Everything in academia - and in our lives - requires time. Organization of your time-work-space is a complex psychology to master, and requires determining your values and thinking about your personal vision and mission. How good are you at managing your time?

In this workshop, you will learn how to effectively implement project-forward and backward-looking skills to craft written plans and chart projects that must be managed while balancing responsibilities that are unique to graduate students and academics. Creating your daily 'To-Do' List, setting clear priorities, staying on track and determining your key result areas will allow you to focus and overcome procrastination. By creating blocks of time that are resistant to interruptions, you can batch your tasks, including grading tasks, scholarly reading, studying, remembering more and accomplishing more as you implement helpful techniques that dually serve as an investment in personal development.

 

Please note that a Therapy Dog from Therapy Dog International will be in attendance.


Register


** Registration Procedures Update **

In order for attendees to personally track their current registrations and attendance at certificate of completion workshops and events, the Center for Teaching Excellence requires that all registrants create an account in our registration system and login to register for all workshops.

 

If you have an existing training account with the Division of Human Resources, Office of Organizational and Professional Development, you do not need to create an account. You can login using your HR training username and password. By logging in to register for CTE events, your complete training record for both CTE and HR trainings will be available with a single account and login. Check Training Record.

 

Participants must attend a workshop in its entirety to receive credit for the workshop in their training records. Late arrival and/or early exit from a workshop invalidates receiving credit. If technology issues require rescheduling of a workshop, participants must attend the workshop at the rescheduled time to receive credit. These policies apply to all CTE workshops/events, including workshops that qualify as requirements/electives for a certificate of completion.
