Academic productivity and sustainable work methods – Workshop with Finish on Time
As academics, we spend a lot of time focusing on the content of our work, but sometimes we forget to pay attention to the work process, or how we work, think and act. However, the process is important to finish our projects on time and manage our stress levels.
This workshop shifts the focus from the what to the how, giving you strategies and practical techniques to finish your dissertation on time and feel good along the way. You will learn about units, the weekly schedule and the 80/20 principle and apply these tools to your own work situation). You thus get a toolbox for increased academic effectiveness that many PhD students have applied successfully to their own academic work. The toolbox consists of research-based approaches and proven techniques.
For me, it has had an enormous impact on my everyday life. I get more done in my working hours and no longer have to work evenings and weekends.
Date and time: 8th of October, 9.30-15.30 in Kalmar
