As a researcher do you feel like there is so much to do and so little time?
Do you wish you could be more productive, have a better focus and work faster?
Do you want to become in charge of your day, know what to do to get back on track, achieve more and feel good while doing it?
In the days of my scientific career (15 years of my life!) I struggled with feeling overwhelmed from long to-do lists and tired from endless string of experiments. I felt like an impostor and often wondered why it feels like it is never enough no matter how much I do. And mind you, I have had what is considered a successful research career and yet I often asked myself why does it need to be so hard and is it possible at all to be successful and productive AND happy at the same time?!
I thought it was just me. Everyone else around me seemed to be doing all right and coping just fine…
It is only now that I have been a productivity coach for scientists for the last 3.5 years that I have discovered somethings mind-blowing. I have now talked to MANY scientists privately over these years asking them the same questions: what is your situation, what are your daily challenges and struggles. And I hear a similar story times and times again.
The scientists have been sharing with me their fears of not being good enough, the fears of criticism, and of failure. They’ve been telling me about their doubts of not being able to reach their final goal be that the PhD thesis, the Masters project, a new collaboration, or the results they wanted to achieve during their postdoc. What I heared is that procrastination, perfectionism, overwhelm, inability to distinguish what is important what is not, lack of progress and forward movement and inability to say NO, are the common issues.
They share how their low confidence gets in the way of them taking action or asking for help. They guilt themselves for wasting so much time. They feel they’ve done better in the past, but now it seems as if they are slowing down and cannot get the same level of focus. They wish they can pay more attention to the things outside work like spending time with their family or doing their hobbies.
Are you recognising yourself in here? Then I have two things to tell you!
First of all, you are not alone!! And it is not to diminish the hardship of your situation. It is just to say it is nothing wrong with you. It is … universal!
And the second thing is that … it can be different. You can make a change! You can be productive, on track and in charge of your day. You can feel like you are making progress, you can be more confident, and do more of what is important to you. You can feel like you are in control and things are running on your terms. You can be successful scientist AND spend quality time with your family and friends. You can have that work/life balance that you desire and you can absolutely ramp up your career, no need to feel stuck at where you are right now.
How do I know it? This is what I have done with my own research career and then again with my new adventure of running a business while being a mom of 3. I have now helped many scientists to become more productive and successful. Recently I have put my teachings into a system, a 7-step Productivity Code. And now I am going to crack it for you!!
