As grad students, when we discuss productivity, we talk about tricks like "doing your hardest task first" or "reducing multitasking." These tips can be useful, but another way to be a more effective scholar, teacher, and researcher is to reduce the stressors that can make us feel helpless and inert in the first place. In this program, we'll talk about self-care activities, how an improved mood can lead to improved productivity, and how carving out time for yourself can reduce overall burnout. Jordan Scott, Graduate Academic Support Specialist, will present.
