Finish On Time – and feel good along the way
Doing a doctorate is a dream for many – but it can also be a very lonely and stressful job. We often focus on the content of our work, but sometimes we forget to pay attention to our own work process, or how we work, think and act. However, this process is central in order to complete our work on time and feel good along the way. More specifically, during this course you will learn more about academic productivity tools such as the 80/20 principle, focusing on the end product and the unit method, and apply them to your own work situation. This course will provide you with a toolbox for increased academic productivity, and there will also be time for sharing experiences and best practices with other participants.
