Every September you make the same promise to yourself:

“This semester will be different. I’ll actually protect my time better and get some research done.”

And then?

Teaching, admin and email overload hit like a tonne of bricks.

Your calendar explodes.

Your evenings and weekends get eaten alive as you try to cram in the papers and reviews you’d promised and your partner/kids/friends/cat are pissed off with you for not being present.

💀 By Halloween, the promises you made to yourself are dead in the water and you’re hanging on for dear life until Christmas.

👉 Here’s the problem. If you don’t have a system for protecting your time before the semester takes over, academia’s overwork culture will plan it for you.

And a system is exactly what I’m teaching in my free webinar:

5 steps to planning your autumn for women academics

Rather than generic time management advice written by a bloke in Silicon Valley, in this webinar I’ll teach you the process that works for real women in academia who are tired of being buried under email, admin, and teaching-related tasks.

Here’s what we’ll do together:

• Set a clear research goal that actually fits into your semester

• Map the steps to get there (whilst getting realistic on how long things take).

• Protect your calendar so meetings don’t eat it alive.

• Discuss when to say no, and how to do it without guilt.

• Build in accountability so you stay on track, even when things get messy.

⚡ Why this works: it’s simple, it’s doable, and by the end of the workshop you will already have your plan in hand. And it’s going to be stuck on the wall in front of your head and you will look at it EVERY. SINGLE. BLOODY. DAY.

Imagine heading into the autumn knowing exactly what you’ll work on, what you’ll say no to, and how you’ll protect your research time. Imagine not needing evenings and weekends to catch up. Imagine actually feeling chill and being one of those people who do their Christmas shopping in October because they’re so on top of shit.

That’s what this process gives you.

But here’s where most people fall: if you wait until semester/term has started to figure this out, it’s already too late. You’ll be back in survival mode, promising yourself next year will be different.

Don’t let that happen again.
