Time Management and Self-Organisation in Academia

Can I be a successful scholar and also have a fulfilling and happy life? Do the usual time-management techniques help achieve this goal? How should these techniques be modified in order to provide appropriate help with the very different tasks involved in research, teaching, student support, administration, and leadership? This book presents methods - adapted to the unique challenges of academia - for managing time and projects while also offering ways to prevent stress, increase motivation, and plan for a successful life integrating all your interests and values. The authors take a holistic approach. They assume that working in academia while entirely focused on career success is not the only option, nor is it the best option.
