Self and Time Management in Science
A Doctorate plusBIGS workshop offered by the Bonn Graduate Center
Scientific work is more like a marathon than a sprint. The success of a doctoral thesis, for example, is the result of several years of research, while short-term successes are the exception rather than the rule. This framework of scientific qualification results in special challenges for self and time management: realistic estimation of time, daily and weekly routines and self-discipline are just some of these challenges that have to be mastered during a doctorate.
