The objective with this workshop is to provide PhD students with a
toolbox for increasing academic productivity to help them finish their
academic work on time.
In academia, we focus on the what, on the content of our work, but we
sometimes forget to pay attention to our own work process or how we
work, think, and act. However, those processes are important for
finishing research projects and managing stress levels. Furthermore, as
individuals, we often have a primary strategy or certain way of thinking
and acting to deal with a variety of situations. Often, that main
strategy works fine, but when we encounter new situations, we might need
a greater variety of options.
This workshop is designed to provide you with new strategies applicable
to academic work. More specifically, you will learn productivity tools
such as the 80/20 principle, focusing on the end product, and working in
units, and apply them to your own work situation. These tools serve to
reinforce each other, are easy to implement, and provide a powerful
impact.
A lunch sandwich will be available outside of Tanngrisner from 12.30 for
workshop participants
