Getting Work Done: Managing Your Time and Motivation

Session Submission Type: Professional Development Workshop

Abstract

Do you regularly feel like there is not enough time to complete your research? Do you have time but struggle with a lack of motivation? Join Keratiloe Mogotsi and Chris Pallas for a discussion of Getting Work Done. Drawing on Dr. Pallas’ book, Doctoral Student Skills: Using Your Comparative Advantage to Succeed in Grad School and Prepare for the Job Market (Routledge 2022), we will discuss common challenges to making consistent progress in your research, exercises that will help you identify the particular causes of your lack of time or motivation, and how to develop a personal toolkit of solutions that you use to overcome the blockages you face.
