研究生 school provides opportunities to learn the skills needed to become an innovative thinker or professional in your field. These skills may be acquired through coursework, research, teaching, or internships. New graduate students are often amazed at how much work needs to be completed each day, finding that there is always more to do. As you attempt to balance several roles throughout each week (or even each day), it is important to incorporate strategies to manage your time effectively.

Create a calendar system and prioritize. Utilize a monthly schedule that captures major papers, assignments, exams, readings, 和会议. Use a weekly schedule to plan which tasks you will complete on what 天和在哪些时间. 学会 prioritize the most important tasks instrumental 祝你成长成功!
Protect the time you are most alert. You may have days that are 8–12 hours long, even before you are able to complete papers 或阅读. These days may leave you feeling tired and unable to start doing work. Use these nights to spend time with family or friends. 在较短或较短的日子 you feel most alert, try to use this time to complete work.
学会说“不”.” In graduate school, you have so many opportunities to make contributions. 学会 turn down certain opportunities in order to perform well on the tasks most important 敬你和你的长期目标.
学习如何有效地阅读. Skim chapters by taking notes in the margins, writing four word phrases that capture the main point of the paragraph(s). Take notes on global points of the readings and write down controversial concepts or questions to bring for discussion in class.
Engage in self-care and self-compassion! You may not be able to get done everything you’d like to. 别对我太苛刻了 yourself or get caught in disappointment. Schedule time for self-care activities and socializing each week to prevent yourself from feeling burnt out.

The aspiration of “work-life balance” is often recommended in our everyday lives, but this approach can be met with a sense of dread rather than a sense of hope. 当 the demands of work and life seem to be unending, how can we possibly keep it all 在“平衡”? In actuality, most of us have more than one set of “scales” in our lives (i.e., graduate school, additional jobs on or off campus, family and community commitments, 自我保健等.), and they can often feel like they are in competition with each other. Below are some possible ways to rethink how we might approach working towards work-life 整合而不是“平衡”.”
集成.
Some have talked about “work-life integration.” The idea is that a life worth living is better served if your passions and life commitments are incorporated or expressed 在你的日常工作中. This is not to say that we don’t have obligations. 这个角度来看 does, however, allow us to ask ourselves, “During any given work week, do I have opportunities to feed my passions and core commitments in some way?”
分离.
Sometimes what refuels you is practicing setting clear boundaries between work and play or being able to volunteer with community groups or organizations that have nothing to do with graduate school or a job. These are important projects too and are still integrated in that you are stoking your own fires in service to your work and your 参与你的生活.
反射.
你怎样度过你的日子? 你的周? Are you happy with your personal mix of commitments 和活动? Is the mix serving you and contributing to your ability to be your best self – whether at work or at home with friends and family? 我们很多人都需要这样做 do a mental “check-in” on these questions every few months or so, and when necessary, 调整混合.
