As a busy academic do you feel like you never have enough time to get to your research, particularly the writing part? And that other things like students, administration, committees, emails, project management etc, demand all your time? This workshop shows you how to guarantee you spend high-quality time on your research outputs. It covers prioritising, goal setting and managing competing demands in a university context. If you want to increase your research output without compromising your work/life balance, then this workshop is for you. Key aspects of this workshop have been featured in the journal Nature.
This workshop will show you how to:
- take control of your time
- prioritise
- stop procrastinating and stay motivated
- avoid distractions
- say NO (and understand why it is so hard to do so)
- balance competing demands
- manage email and paperwork
- work the slightly less hard way
- think more realistically about your research productivity
Who is it for?
Academic/research staff wishing to manage their time better to increase their research productivity and improve their work/life balance.
Length
2½-3 hours for an unlimited number of participants.
Book
The companion book to this workshop is Time for Research: Time management for academics, researchers and PhD students.

EndNote & Referencing
This workshop is specifically for HDR students. We will look at how EndNote can help you with downloading resource information from Library Search or a Library Database, how to organise the resources in EndNote, and how to add those resources as citations and references in your assignments. As part of learning how to use EndNote, we will also look at referencing. Using EndNote will require that you understand how your references need to look like, as EndNote will not correct mistakes or add missing information.
