Slow down and gain time: Self and Time-Management for Doctoral Candidates and Postdocs

Young scientists often face an onslaught of daily challenges like teaching, research projects or administrative tasks. Given that academics are also often expected to be flexible and constantly available, it is only natural that you feel at times overwhelmed. Moreover, those many last-minute, short-term assignments often take precedence and can keep you distracted from more important, long-term goals and ambitions as well as your personal interests.
In order to keep your goals and priorities in sight and your level of energy high, you thus need a carefully thought-out time and self-management system. In this workshop, you will learn to set priorities and forge realistic plans in order to balance the demands of research and your personal life goals.

Workshop topics include:

• Defining personal goals and setting priorities
• Establishing and/or optimizing daily and weekly planning
• Self-organization and self-motivation: increase productivity and efficiency
• Setting parameters for working effectively, maximizing efficiency
• Energy management and mental health
