The Union of Civil Servants (Fackförbundet ST) at Stockholm University invites you to an online workshop with Caroline Uggla on the theme: Academic Productivity – From Efficiency to Effectiveness
About the workshop
Academics spend a lot of time focusing on the content of our work,
but sometimes we forget to pay attention to the work process, or how we
work, think and act. However, the process is important to finish our
projects on time and manage our stress levels.
This workshop shifts the focus from the what to the how, giving you strategies and practical techniques to finish your dissertation on time and feel good along the way. You will learn about units, the weekly schedule and the 80/20 principle and apply these tools to your own work situation. You thus get a toolbox for increased academic effectiveness that many post docs and PhD students have applied successfully to their own academic work. The toolbox consists of research-based approaches and proven techniques.
