Description
It is no secret that grad school is a lot of work: books to read, papers to write, presentations to prepare, team meetings to attend, a lot of Zoom calls, etc. Add time with family and friends, holding a job, hobbies, and you can quickly feel overwhelmed by meeting your professional and personal goals. A common challenge faced by many grad students is time management. The efficient use of one’s time directly impacts quality of work, grad school experience, and job prospects after graduation. While it may seem counterintuitive, the key to efficiently managing one’s time requires dedicating time to do so, and this workshop is a first step toward helping you better manage your time and becoming more productive in graduate school.
This workshop will provide tools for goal planning and task prioritization, as well as concrete tips for minimizing procrastination and distractions, and ultimately becoming more productive. Specifically, participants will get the chance to set their own individual goals throughout this workshop, identify concrete tasks, and budget time to help them achieve said goals. The workshop will also provide space to learn from the experiences of other students, and share feedback amongst one another.
