1. Remember that ministry is about people.....prioritize people time!
2. Remember certain days are better for certain things. So, plan and block that way.
-This varies from situation to situation.
-Some days have less interruptions and are better for paperwork.
-Main event days should have main events items prioritized.
-Do standing student appointments.
-Plan and calendar speaking prep time.
3. Eat where students eat at least once or twice a week.
-It can be set appointments with individuals or groups.
-It can be show up and see who you run into.
4. Walk through the Student Center and across the campus every day.
-In thirty minutes time you can make great contacts in "bump situations".
-It shows faculty, administration and students that you are a person of the campus.
-It will keep you tuned into the culture of your campus.
5. Block your student appointments.
-For regular weekly appointments, ask your students to give you three times they can
meet and then block appointments in groupings close to each other to avoid the loss
of 15-30 minutes between appointments. See number 1.
