Content

Every person has felt overwhelmed once in their life with all the tasks they have to accomplish, especially researchers that need to manage their projects (PhD students, postdocs, professors). Bullet journaling is an effective tool for planification that helps become more efficient in task management and gives a productivity boost. This workshop is relevant for any person that wish to get structure in his/her tasks and daily activity and help reach set objectives. By means of presentation, discussion and hands-on experience, trainer Joëlle De Weerdt (VUB) will introduce the tool and will give practical and clear instructions to get started with your own bullet journal. Every participant will receive a blank bullet journal at the start of the workshop (ruler and pen(s) to be brought by the participants).

I thought myself rather good at planning and managing my agenda, and I followed this workshop to get some extra tips and tricks. But I learned a whole new way of dealing with planning, and I love it! This workshop doesn't only help people to start a planning routine, but can also inspire people that are already good at it to do better.
