Tenure & Time Management: How To Manage Your Time So You Can Publish Prolifically And Have A Life Beyond The Ivory Tower on April 21st from 9am - 11am (PST)
This workshop is specifically designed to address common issues (working long hours, sense of loneliness, being unprepared for new faculty positions, feeling unsupported for a work-life balance and wondering if academia was the right career choice) and provide participants with concrete skills to successfully transition from graduate student to professor. Specifically, participants learn:
- The common time challenges academics face
- How to avoid the most common mistakes new faculty make in managing their time
- Why and how to align work time with institutional and personal priorities
- How to create time for academic writing and research
- How to organize a network
Building a Publishing Pipeline: Concrete Strategies For Increasing Your Writing Productivity on April 28th or 29th from 12pm - 2pm (PST)
As academics, we have been told time and again to write often and as much as we can, but no one teaches us how to keep track of the many different projects that we may be working on at any given time. As a result, we are pulled in multiple directions, and incremental progress made on multiple manuscripts can make it feel like our productivity – and our motivation – is at a standstill. By conceptualizing all of your writing projects as moving through a pipeline, you can make progress on a daily basis and keep everything flowing towards publication.
In this workshop, you will learn how to:
- Establish a sustainble daily writing practice
- Experiment with a tracking system to analyze where to focus your wirting and research efforts
- Make a concrete action plan for moving several projects forward simultaneously
- Celebrate the process of moving your work from one stage of the pipeline to the next
