With limited resources, it is important to use time more efficiently. Don't spend valuable time on "time consuming activities" like scheduling appointments, counting number of appointments, or waiting for "no shows."

Make it more convenient for students to schedule or to re-schedule appointments with you, especially those students who work full/part time and live off campus.
