Prerequisites
 
We recommend that you are at least 6 months into your PhD. To benefit the most from this course we also recommend that you are curious about your own work habits and want to try out new tools and strategies to become even more efficient.
 
 
Aim
 
In this PhD skill course we build on your strengths and provide you with tools and strategies so you can further develop efficient and effective work habits.
 

Content
 
At each session you will set a work-goal for the following week. You will have time to reflect on your work habits and how you can optimize them. Sharing experiences and learning from each other is an important part of the course.
 
The course format combines discussions in smaller groups with plenary sessions on:
 
SESSION 1: Realistic goalsetting – how to set realistic work-goals and identify patterns and beliefs that prevent your progress. 
 
SESSION 2: Collaboration – learn how to get the best out of your supervision and other work relationships.
 
SESSION 3: Writing – learn how to overcome writing blocks, write efficiently, control your inner critic.
 
SESSION 4: Deep work – learn how to become focused and more efficient in a distracted world.  
 
SESSION 5: Sustain your progress – make a plan for sustaining your progress and establish a support network.AC
 
 
Structure of each session:

•    Follow up on last week’s goals – what did you find easy and what was           challenging? 
•    Theme of the day workshop: presentation, exercise and discussions  
•    Goalsetting for the coming week

Please bring computer, charger, pen, and paper.
 
 
Teaching Style
 
The course alters between short plenary presentations, group discussions and exercises.
