Description
This session is for PGRs only.
This session will be online via Teams
Doctoral researchers need to juggle a whole host of complex tasks
directly related to their PhD, from reviewing literature to data
analysis, and writing. All this while perhaps teaching, building
relationships, and maintaining collaborations, and having a life.
Being strategic with time allocation gives doctoral researchers the
confidence that they can set and meet deadlines, create quality written
material. It also promotes a health approach to work/life balance to
improve wellbeing. When time is used carefully, space can be created for
creativity and critical thinking, essential for creating that unique
contribution to knowledge that a PhD requires.
