Time & Activity Management, Prioritization and Mindfulness - online

Before booking a workshop, please make sure that you can attend for the entire duration and save the dates. When participants do not show up or cancel on a very short notice, other interested parties are denied a chance to participate.

Participation

For doctoral researchers of all disciplines.

Objectives

Due to the necessity for achieving a high level of productivity even whilst working from the home office, it is necessary to develop an effective method of self-management to cope with new challenges and to stay healthy in a sustainable way. In turbulent times it seems to be more difficult to plan effectively. We need new ways of thinking and planning, for planning flexible scenarios. This seminar explores how to achieve a better balance within your own person and your professional surroundings. Participants will leave the workshop with a comprehensive yet practical framework with which to apply their planning activities.
