One of the advantages of working in an academic context is the flexibility and freedom with regards to time-management. Although PhD students do have some deadlines (conference submissions, revision deadlines), the only major deadline is the submission of their masterpiece (dissertation). This flexibility has several obvious advantages but it also has a downside, it requires a lot of self-discipline and strong time-management capabilities. In this workshop we will work on skills such as pro-active planning, prioritizing, and email-management as well as on how to implement these skills in a sustainable way with the goal of developing a stress-free and productive workflow.
