Time Management: Online OnlineNew
Being able to manage your time is a key skill for a researcher. Although you may already have your own strategies in place, many people will struggle to continue to be effective in a busy research environment where you have many competing priorities.
This online course is presented as a toolkit of proven time management techniques. Each tool will contain some background information on why it can be helpful and then some examples so that you can see how it can be put into day-to-day use.
Each tool takes about fifteen minutes to work through online, and you will then be challenged to try it out for two weeks before reflecting on whether it made a positive impact on your time management.
Topics covered:
- Introduction: Your Best Self
- The Eisenhower Matrix
- Chunking
- The Underappreciated To-Do List
- Dealing with Distractions... of the Digital Variety
- Dealing with Distractions... of the Human Variety
- Motivation
