Time and career management for scientists

In our time management workshop for scientists, you´ll learn that every week has 7 days, 168 hours or 10080 minutes… a lot of time to do a lot of things! Still, many of us suffer from the feeling of always having too little of it. You might not think about how you want to spend it and how to distribute it between your career, family, friends and hobbies. These are also no easy questions with answers to be found in a textbook – the ‘ideal schedule’ is simply too different from one person to the other.
During this online workshop, we will analyse the individual schedules of the week and pro-vide tools and ideas to make the best use of your time investment. Furthermore, we will discuss how to balance science and life in different contexts and plan your days in a flexible work environment.
The aim is not only to work more efficiently and reduce personal stress, but also to be more satisfied and successful in your career and personal life.

In this course you´ll learn about:

• The basic principles of time-management
• What do I want to achieve this year professionally and personally?
• Your 168 hours: How much do you actually work? How much of this is towards your goals?
• For what to spend time?
• How to (not) schedule your calendar?
• E-mails, meetings and phone calls
• Science-life balance
