Working harder, longer hours doesn’t always guarantee better results or productivity. This workshop aims to counter conventional beliefs and habits around research work and life. You’ll learn simple but highly effective techniques and practices to respond more efficiently to procrastination, periods of demotivation and overwhelm. Long hours in the lab or lack of sleep will become a thing of the past when you discover these techniques for working fewer hours in the day while enjoying more momentum, creativity, focus, pleasure and progress in your research.
