    YES!: Escaping the Tyranny of the Day: Make Space for What Matters to You

    This session will establish context as to why it is necessary to differentiate jobs from careers, propose a rubric to classify and triage job versus career needs, and offer specific, behaviorally-focused action plans to make more time available for career development. Topics for which action plans are offered include calendar management, explicit prioritization of important but non-urgent tasks, more effective email use, and mitigating electronic distractors. The need to say no to particular asks and opportunities will also be covered. While applicable to faculty at all stages, the session is likely most impactful for those in early and mid-careers.

    Session Type: Repeat Offering (Session content similar to 2024-25 session. Best suited for those new to the material or who may benefit from a refresher.)
