Navigating Challenges: Stop Procrastinating!

The Berlin University Alliance (BUA) is an alliance of Freie Universität Berlin, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Technische Universität Berlin and Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin. Together, they are pursuing the goal of creating and shaping an integrated research space in Berlin. This alliance aims to establish Berlin as a leading international science location. All workshops and events offered by the Graduate Studies Support Program are funded by the BUA and therefore free of charge.

Before booking a workshop, please make sure that you can attend for the entire duration. Please check our terms and conditions.   

Objectives and Content

Getting things done can be challenging, especially for academics and researchers, who often set their own goals. A lack of external deadlines within the framework of our projects can make it easy for us to put off finishing things that don’t feel urgent, leaving ourselves under pressure and stressed as things pile up. It’s frustrating to put something on the to-do list and find it still there weeks or months later. Discover why we procrastinate and how to manage your tasks effectively. Reduce stress by organizing your to-do list using procrastination-proof methods.

• Why do we procrastinate? Why do I put certain tasks off and complete others?
• How can I approach my tasks in a way that helps me to complete them when I want to?
• What can I do to make sure that I get thing done on time?
• How can I get past procrastination? What do I do when I find myself putting off tasks?
