Many researchers feel constantly busy but struggle to make meaningful progress on the work that matters most
This practical workshop offers a different approach aims to shift how you think about work. You will learn how to focus on priorities rooted in your values and identity, rather than just endlessly ticking off tasks. By working consistently on these priorities, even for a small part of the day, you will build momentum, motivation and a positive feedback loop that supports sustainable, long-term productivity. The goal is not simply to squeeze more work into your day, but rather to create space for balance, rest and greater satisfaction in what you produce.
