Time management can be a struggle for graduate students and faculty. In this episode we offer tips to make more efficient use of your time, with the goal of reducing everyone's stress.
We discussed:
- Scheduling "the big rocks" (e.g. the important, big items) first and putting the "sand" around them (e.g. the smaller, urgent things)
- Understanding how much stuff you can really put on your plate, and ways to say "No"
- Calendar management tips
- Being realistic with when you work the best and why this might be different for you and your students
- The necessity of reflection to find what's working and what's not
- Not losing sight of the important/mission serving pieces when the fires (e.g. emails) are such an easy distraction
- Being intentional with how we spend our time
