Clinician Researcher

Everyone has a strategy for navigating their academic calendars. The key is to be intentional. In this episode, Dr. Onwuemene shares her perspectives on aligning your calendar with your strategic plan;

Key Points Discussed:

  1. Setting an Overarching Goal: Your calendar should align with a clear overarching goal for your academic career.
  2. Creating a Strategic Plan: Make your calendar a platform for executing your strategic plan.
  3. Weekly Calendar Mapping: By mapping out your calendar a week in advance, you can prioritize writing and research goals.
  4. Closing the Calendar to Additional Meetings: When you close your calendar to last-minute meetings, it prevents disruption of planned schedules.
  5. Prioritization and Accountability: When you predefine what can take precedence over scheduled activities, it equips you to manage new requests or "emergencies."

Call to Action:

Take control of your academic calendar. For the next 6 months, experiment with blocking out specific time slots for research and writing productivity.
