Time management - learn to beat procrastination! (Cambridge PhD Clinic)

The Cambridge PhD Clinic is a series of informal interdisciplinary workshops run for and by graduate students in the language, cognitive and social sciences at the University of Cambridge.

Have you ever wondered where all the time went? Do you feel stressed because you feel like there aren’t enough hours in the day to do everything you want to do? Do you procrastinate? If your answer is “yes” to at least one of these questions, then we highly recommend that you register for our upcoming workshop on time management.

The next PhD Clinic workshop will focus on improving your time managing skills. It will be very interactive, and Polly Brown from the University Counselling Service will be guiding us throughout. She will help us to identify unhelpful thought patterns and behaviour that lead to poor time management (e.g. fears, perfectionism, procrastination). From there, we will identify strategies that can help us change these unhelpful ways of thinking and behaving, and how to actually implement them. We will finish with an open discussion/Q&A. In other words, you can expect to walk out of this workshop with some new insights and tools to improve your time management! You’ll also get a free lunch, and a golden opportunity to meet like-minded students in the social/cognitive/language sciences.

Please register early to avoid disappointment as previous events have been oversubscribed. If the event is oversubscribed we will operate a waiting list. Registration will close on the 19th of May.
