Time and self management
Dr. Vira Bondar (EPT-hub, ETH)
As a doctoral student, you face numerous demands on your time. Often, you find yourself switching roles between being a student, researcher, teacher, and other duties. Sometimes, all these responsibilities can pile-up, overwhelming you.
This short workshop aims to increase your awareness of how you allocate your time and provide strategies to enhance your self- and time-management skills.
The workshop is conducted by Dr. Vira Bondar. Vira co-founded and leads the EPT-hub, an interactive space which supports Teaching Assistants of introductory physics courses in their teaching duties and beyond. Vira is also doing particle-physics research in the Department of Physics at ETH Zurich.
Unexpected occurrences, difficult tasks and heavy workload characterize everyday life and work – especially as a doctoral student. In order to manage these challenges, we need our stress response. This two-hour workshop conducted by external pageAriane Orosz, Dr. sc. ETH (external pageCentre for Stress-Related Illnesses, Sanatorium Kilchberg; Translational Neuromodeling Unit, UZH and ETH Zurich) demonstrates how stress helps us to adapt to demanding situations and – if engaged for too long – how stress can result in maladaptive processes affecting body, mind and feelings. This workshop illustrates the neurobiological mechanisms of our stress response as well as our “anti-stress systems”, and provides practical inputs on how to transfer this knowledge into everyday life in order to keep balance, strengthen stress resilience and cultivate well-being.
The workshop is centered around building and strengthening your skills to thrive in the face of stress. It will give you a better understanding about underlying mechanisms of stress and its connection to academic success. You will learn how to recognize stress reactions and search for personalized stress resilience strategies to reach more balance in your life and prevent stress-related conditions.
This is an interactive workshop with theoretical inputs and group discussions during which active participation is requested.
