Events
Wrangling your workload
Wednesday 26 February 10:00 until 13:00
Online : Via Zoom
Speaker: Dr Sarah Robins-Hobden
This workshop will help you review your 'rules' of how you work, and adapt them to serve you better. You’ll review what really matters to you, and what that means for prioritising your workload in any given moment. Then you’ll be in a better place to define how you choose to work within and flex those changes. With greater clarity on your workload and what is really important to you, experiment with tools that help you optimise small pockets of time.
Learning outcomes
Engaging with this programme will enable you to:
- Gain clarity on your workload in your research context, and clearly define your priorities
- Explore the assumptions that underpin your current way of working - enhance what is working for you, and change what isn't
- Take more deliberate control of your attention, energy, and commitments, to experience a positive impact on your workload
- Adapt the 'how', 'when', and 'where' of your work in alignment with your daily rhythms
- Optimise your motivation by working with (rather than against) your preferences for starting, finishing, and progressing projects
Target audience
Postgraduate researchers at all stages and from all disciplines, and ECRs from all disciplines, broadly encompassing research assistants, postdoctoral researchers and research fellows at grades 6-8.
