Teaching and service can take over faculty members’ lives, induce feelings of burnout, and leave little to no time for research and writing. In this workshop, faculty will develop strategies for prioritizing and building momentum for their research and writing on the day-to-day level while maintaining work-life balance along the way In this in-person workshop, faculty will identify keys to a successful work week, discuss how research and writing goals can fit into already busy schedules, establish high- priority, low-priority, and non negotiable tasks and responsibilities, map their weekly plan, and learn tips for when life happens.
