PERCAT Workshop - Time for Research: How to Prioritise and Stop Procrastinating

It’s always hard to find time for research. But in times of COVID and lockdowns it can seem almost impossible. Do other things like emails, family commitments, clinical work, supervision, administration, committees, project management etc demand all your time?

 This workshop shows you how to guarantee you spend high quality time on your research outputs. It covers prioritising, goal setting and managing competing demands in a university context and in these difficult times. If you want to increase your research output without compromising your work/life balance, then this workshop is for you. Key aspects of this workshop have featured in the journal Nature.

This workshop will show you how to:

• take control of your time

• prioritise

• stop procrastinating and stay motivated

• manage distractions

• say NO (and understand why it is so hard to do so)

• balance competing demands

• manage email and paperwork

• work the slightly less hard way

• think more realistically about your research productivity

 This workshop is open to all postdoctoral and early career researchers in LES, EPS and MDS.
