Description

The researcher’s work environment demands a high level of self-direction, agility, and creativity. PhD students have to manage long and complex projects without the many externally set structures, benchmarks, accountability prompts, and clearly defined working hours common in other workplaces. They are exposed to frequent critique, are expected to perform at a high level, and often work long stretches in isolation. Because of this, struggles with motivation, procrastination, and, ultimately, burnout are common among young researchers. 

In this workshop, participants will learn to cultivate laser-like focus, gain more control over their day, find balance, and increase their productivity. This workshop blends practical insights and tools with a powerful reflection on individual habits, beliefs, and processes.
