Productivity Tips

While the VPAA office cannot decrease the tasks you have to complete each week, we can make your time doing those tasks more efficient and enjoyable! In order to contribute to a “vibrant culture of wellbeing that helps our faculty and staff lead engaged and meaningful lives,” we asked some of our faculty and staff colleagues what helps them maintain a productive and happy work-life. You can find those tips as well as some additional recommended readings below. As always, we want to remind you that it’s okay to slow down and take care of yourself—even when there is much work to do!

Productivity Tips and Hacks:

  • Productivity Panel Videos
  • Productivity Panel Audio Transcripts

Productivity Articles and Philosophies:

  • Two Rules for Counting Work
  • Focusing on Your Priorities and Purpose
  • What to Do About Burn Out
  • Burn Out and How to Complete the Stress Cycle
Additional Resources

Please find institutional resources to provide guidance in managing classroom disruptions, building connections with students, and fostering a positive learning environment.
