Faculty members experience a gap between how they would prefer to spend their work time and how they actually do so. In this article we report results from a four-week workshop called "The Terrapin Time Initiative." It was guided by theories of behavioral economics and behavioral design, which suggest that small changes to the context, or "choice architecture," in which individuals make choices can enhance decision-making. Results indicate that the workshop was effective in changing the "choice architecture" in which faculty made decisions about their time-use, thereby helping them to develop new strategies for managing their time.
