Being a father of two children (5 and 1 year old) while juggling teaching, research, and a leadership role sounds like a demanding but rewarding job! Here are some time management and prioritization strategies to help me find balance:
Schedule with Ruthless Prioritization: I have a detailed schedule allocating specific times for work (teaching, research, Rectors Board), family, and yourself (sleep, exercise).
Boundaries and Delegation: I have set work-life boundaries (e.g., no work emails at home) and explain them to colleagues and family.
Efficiency is Key: Techniques like the Pomodoro Technique (focused work followed by short breaks) can help me be more productive during work hours.
Quality Family Time: Even with limited free time, I make the most of it. I remove distractions and focus on activities everyone enjoys.
Self-Care Matters: I'm trying to schedule exercise, hobbies, or relaxation time.
Embrace Flexibility: I'm prepared to adjust your schedule and celebrate small victories. A perfect balance might not be achievable daily, but prioritize what matters most.
