Institut Curie has many Alumni who have done their master, PhD or post-doc at the institute, and who have afterwards proceeded to follow a range of career paths. We would like to introduce you to some of them.
How can you design your work space and manage your energy intentionally?
Working on a long project without a clear trajectory, which is often the case in science requires exceptional motivation and discipline. It requires to know yourself, your energy curve, times when we can produce our best work and also find ways to gain new energy and motivation to move forward.
In this workshop you will determine your chronotype, explore your ideal energy curve and how you can best schedule your tasks throughout the day - when to plan deep work vs mundane tasks, when is best time to do creative work and how to prioritize items on their to-do list. We will explore the role of distractions and procrastination on your ability to focus.
In this workshop we will explore how we can better manage and increase our energy and motivation. You will work alone and in pairs to help each other design small experiments on how to organize your workdays and what strategies you can use to avoid energy sucking activities and how to gain new energy for work.
Whether you are working from home or in the office, we will help you design and optimal work environment for analytical work as well as help you adjust it for when you need to get your creative juices going.

Anja Svetina Nabergoj (PhD) teaches at the Hasso Plattner Institute of Design, Stanford University. She is the founding member of Creativity in Research team that developed the curriculum for applying design thinking to scientific and scholarly research. She has been conducting studies on the creative process behind breakthrough innovative scientific research. The result is a new book “Creativity in Research: Cultivate Clarity, Be Innovative, and Make Progress in your Research Journey” published by Cambridge University Press in 2019. Anja is also on the Advisory Board of The Stanford Catalyst for Collaborative Solutions, which is a new initiative with a bold mission to create an open space to explore uncommon interdisciplinary solutions to the world’s most pressing challenges.
