Creating Deliverables to Manage Multiple Projects Effectively

UPS, Fedex, the post office, and even Amazon are exceptional at deliverables. Have you ever imagined you could be just as effective with your goals and projects? Are you tackling several projects and finding yourself getting lost among the tasks? In this workshop, you will learn how to create clear deliverables for your project as well as systems to help you make progress on multiple projects at the same time. Like the delivery systems we know so well, thorny issues are bound to come up, and we will tackle some options for managing overwhelm, too. Bring your projects and leave with a sense of purpose and attainable goals!

Beyond How-to: Using Visuals to Talk about and Write your Methods Section

Do you ever wish writing your methods section could be as easy as saying, “trust me, I did some things”? Do you feel like your ideas get lost in too much detail? Do you worry you are not including enough detail? Writing methods sections can be challenging, especially as journals continue to impose strict word limits. In this workshop, you will learn how to use visual representations, such as logic models, to (1) plan out your methods; (2) talk concisely and clearly about your research project; and (3) write your methods section. Take the mystery out of methods!
