Time and Stress Management for Instructors --> Taking Control of Your Time
Post what you've learned about this topic and how you intend to apply it. Feel free to post questions and comments too.
Get organize. Manage time and tasks. Write a list things you need to do then prioritize which task need to be done first and which can be done later. And then check on the task daily and cross out as you do the tasks. Do not procrastinate.
I operate with to do lists regularly. That being said, I have not been listing complex things to do with a breakdown of the process as part of my to do list. I will experiment with this. One fear is that time that could be used to work on a task will be compromised by taking time for an ornate to do list.
Time management is an important key to instructor and student success.
I learned that: "you can make choices that allow you to strike a healthy balance between giving time to yourself and giving time to others."
I always create a daily to do list to keep me on task and organized.
Breakdown tasks on a to do list with detail to organize it by priority. And use the question, "What's the consequence if it's not completed?" to help organize priority.
One important thing I learned from this module is that time management is not just about being busy—it is about being organized and intentional with how I use my time. I realized that nursing school requires planning, prioritization, and consistency in order to be successful.
Comment on Marcco Smith's post: Yes it does
Time is a very precious item. Managing your time to finish task is very important. Therefore, writing a list in an order helps tackle them in an affecient manner.
time management and organization skills is very important for an instructor to provide effective learning for the students
I learned about organizing tasks and setting realistic goals and timelines.
I enjoyed this module and the way it guides you through the techniques for setting yourself up to get things done. I would recommend a book to everyone titled Atomic Habits. I definitely plan to implement the techniques I learned here along with some I already know and use.
I liked the numbering system on the task and am going to use that and found ways on how to prioritize the most import.
Taking control of your time as nursing faculty is less about "finding balance" and more about intentionally deciding what deserves your attention and what doesn't.
I am definitely going to apply the numbering system on my to-do list
Totally agree, there are 24 hrs in a day. Work sufficient hours and take breaks to eat, breathe, and take care of necessary functions.
Time management is a main priority. Please keep a to-do list and readdress it weekly as you get things accomplished.
This aligns with other books I have ready like "Getting Things Done" that stresses the importance of "brain-dumping" your tasks to free up your mental energy and then prioritize the list to get it done!
I learned that writing down all of your tasks on a to do list and prioritize them is much more effective.
