Time Management

Success Coaches are here to help when you want to upgrade your time management by learning new strategies, building your skills, and making progress on your goals. 

You have options.

Workshops

Workshops are a great place to start! Time management workshops are interactive and participatory, so you can expect to draft a schedule, revise current plans, and develop strategies for keeping pace with the quarter system.

All workshops are 50 minutes. No sign-up/RSVP is required to attend. Success workshops are offered on campus in 114 South Hall, in addition to Zoom-based workshops. 

Designing a Quarter Calendar 

Take control of the quarter system! By identifying project-level assignments and exams early, you will learn how to better manage your workload. 

Designing a Weekly Schedule

Learn about time management strategies through designing a weekly calendar or making improvements to an existing schedule. Feel good about your 24 hours, 7 days a week!

Focus and Concentration

Explore ways to increase focus and concentration, including strategies to help you stay on task. You will have a chance to reflect on your common distractions and problem solve.

Individual Appointments 

Meet with a Success Coach if you want to: 

  • Feel more in control of your commitments and how you spend your time
  • Work through procrastination and harness your motivators
  • Set priorities, establish and maintain new habits, and balance commitments
  • Learn how to set a better weekly schedule and/or daily to-do list

During an individual appointment, expect your Success Coach to listen, ask questions, and serve as your thinking partner. We are also learning strategists, and can share with you research-based ways to manage your time more efficiently and effectively.

3 questions to consider in preparation for your appointment

  • What’s an important or urgent topic for you right now?
  • If you and your coach made progress on this topic, what do you hope would change?
  • Do you have a specific outcome in mind for this appointment? If so, what is it?
  • Optional: Is this appointment part of a required agreement with OSSJA or your College? If so, how can this conversation best support you right now?

Scheduling an Appointment 

  • Appointments are 30 minutes, and can be a one-time session or an ongoing check-in with the same coach.
  • If you are signing up for an initial appointment, please be descriptive when filling out the reason for the appointment in the Advising Appointment System. This helps your success coach best prepare for the appointment.
  • Disclaimer: Success Coaching is not a substitute for academic advising (university requirements, course selection and scheduling, change of major, etc.)
