Best Advice from WIR Roundtables: • Protect your time! Schedule the big rocks first. Choose commitments carefully. • Cut yourself some slack in the first few years. Take time to find direction & choose your focus. • To schedule big tasks and allow time for work:life balance. Learn to say no and prioritize time. • Discussion of the book “ The Five Choices” to help with work/life balance • We are all too busy and it might be our fault! • Graduate students need lots of direction. • Seeking out feedback other than just positive or “you did great on…” I will be mindful of pursuing feedback on how to improve or grow. (However painful or uncomfortable that might be.) • When applying for a job, explain how you can utilize campus & community resources to extend your research. • Job interviews/cover letter: If you don’t know something then say so; don’t lie or try to cover it up. Be confident! • “Happify” • Prepare well on the topic that you are going to present. • Find more friends to support you and forma supporting network. • Think more about your future direction and prepare early for your career. • Pay attention to researchers/faculty’s cues and interactions during interviews to see what the workplace culture is like and if you want to be in a place like that. • Try to handle your time. Work out time with your family more. • Don’t feel guilty! Take care of yourself. • Set the obvious goal and try to achieve it. Follow the priority. • Keep your professional and personal life different. • “Eat the frog first” (do the worst/least desirable task first in the day instead of saving it for last). • “Comparison is the thief of joy” (be wary of comparing yourself to others; instead determine what success looks like for you and work on achieving that). • Make a plan for the week and each day. Track daily activities. • Give students a clear expectation. • Do work at work and home at home. • Work is work and home is home!
