"Effective time management for PhD students", James Hayton, C12 Physics Building, 1 pm, 08 October

James Hayton, https://phd.academy/

One of the biggest challenges of a PhD is that there is no set timetable or syllabus to follow: You have to manage your own time and your own project, deciding which path to follow and what to prioritise on the way. Planning and organisation is part of the solution, but research is inherently unpredictable by nature and requires creativity and adaptability to cope with the unexpected problems that arise. In this talk, you'll learn why standard techniques for time management often fail, how to cope when things go wrong, and how to adapt during the different phases of your PhD.

About James Hayton 

Formerly a physicist, I used to work in nanoscience before moving on to bigger things. Since my last postdoc finished in 2010 I've worked with thousands of PhD students from a wide range of academic disciplines to help them develop their research, writing and project management skills
