ML10: Calmer Ways of Working: Strategies for Managing Your Busy Statistical Practice

Music City Center 

Cynthia Wilson Garvan, PhD, Research Professor in the Departments of Anesthesiology, Obstetrics & Gynecology, and Pediatrics in the College of Medicine at the University of Florida, will lead the roundtable. She is an embedded biostatistician in three clinical departments and the Director of Biostatistics for the Pediatrics & OBGYN Research Hub.

In this roundtable, participants will be able to understand the history of the evolution of the nature of work (from factory work to knowledge work), contrast pseudo-productivity to genuine productivity, and distill key takeaways espoused by Harvard Business Review writers and other self-management leaders (e.g., Cal Newport, Laura Vanderkam, David Allen). Participants will also receive a mini tutorial on time block planning and building their own statistical practice workflow system. Finally, resources will be shared for further exploration into the possibility of getting things done while simultaneously preserving and prioritizing your wellbeing.
