Faculty & Staff Consultation
CAPS staff are available to consult with faculty and staff who may have concerns about a student or about a particular situation.Steps to Organization
1. Start by uncluttering your work area. Clear your work surface of files, books, and loose papers since they can distract you from what needs to be done. Staying neat takes a fraction of the time you will waste if distracted.
2. Create a master list on paper or computer to track all important tests, assignments, projects and even social events.
3. Avoid interruptions that can rob you of time and momentum. When a project or assignment requires special attention, escape to a quiet area to work more effectively.
4. Delegate tasks when you can, since trying to do everything can be overwhelming.
5. Think before you keep a piece of paper since most of what you keep for later use won't be needed again. The "OHIO Rule" reduces clutter and makes organization easier. "Only Handle It Once"
6. Take a few minutes at the end of each day to clear your work area and plan for the next day. Planning what really must get done - and how and when to do it - can help you know how to spend your time and energy, as well as minimize anxiety about deadlines.
Additional information on various self-help topics can be found at the CAPS Self-Help Library and the Counseling Center Village .
