Getting the PhD done! Time-management and Self-organization for Doctoral Candidates (September 6th, 2024)
241_ZM0401
Being a doctoral cadidate means to experience much more autonomy than in many other fields of activity. This however, requires high levels of self-organization. In this workshop you will be introduced to several aspects of effectively organizing your PhD project. You will reflect on your individual use of time and develop strategies for motivating yourself on the long run.
Contents in brief:
- Personal work preferences: What are my strengths and how do they influence my self-organization?
- Planning techniques: How do I organize and prioritize pending tasks? How do I formulate goals and structure the work process effectively?
- Time Balance: How much time do I need for what and is there appropriate room for everything that’s important for me?
- Self-motivation: How do I motivate myself? How do I deal with typical ups and downs during the PhD?
Methods: During the workshop a variety of teaching methods, such as short presentations, individual and group exercises, will be employed.
