Achieve Your Goals
Time and self-management are key skills for academic success. They help organize research and dissertations effectively, prioritize tasks, and meet deadlines. Especially in the early career stages, where workload and time pressure are high, strong time management skills enable researchers to stay on top of their work and boost productivity. Mastering this skill lays the foundation for long-term success.

It is also crucial for presenting expertise and developing a strong professional profile within the academic community.
