Description

If you don’t take control of your schedule, it will end up controlling you. Although academics generally have more autonomy in structuring their workday than many professionals, many still feel they lack control, often spending their days responding to ever-increasing demands for their attention. This course on time management for academics will equip you to manage your time effectively, creating the mental space needed to step back and reassess your working life. Scheduling sharpens your focus on the reality of how you allocate time, increasing awareness of your actual time usage versus your perceived usage. It also allows you to carve out time for high-value tasks that are crucial for successful career progression.

Additionally, this course covers strategies for prioritizing tasks and setting achievable goals within your schedule. You’ll learn techniques for avoiding procrastination and minimizing distractions, ensuring that you can focus on important tasks. We will also explore the benefits of time tracking and reflection, enabling you to continuously improve your time management skills. By the end of this course, you will not only have a better grasp of time management for academics but also a more disciplined and productive approach to discharging your academic responsibilities.

This course offers practical tips for daily and weekly scheduling, including templates to help you get started. It reaches its full potential when taken in conjunction with courses on email and note-taking. You will have direct interaction with the teacher in every lesson and can engage with other participants through lesson comments.
