Managing Your Time

Here are some helpful resources to help best manage your time:

• Duke ARC Planning Calendars
• Time and Energy with Reed Colver, Associate Director and Learning Consultant
• Explore the Time Management Resources for Graduate Students and PostDocs site

Also consider:

• If you are working on a solo project, consider establishing one of your classmates as an “accountability buddy”.
• Most professional writers (as well as academics!) reserve a specific time each day for writing free of other distractions. You will be surprised how much you complete if you dedicate an hour or two of uninterrupted time per day to your MP draft. The trick is to be consistent. Do nothing but write during that time, then stop.
