Episode description
On this episode of the "Research in Action" podcast, I share some of the organizational strategies for juggling multiple research projects that I’ve developed over my time as a researcher. I would also love to hear from listeners about whether you use these strategies or if there are other helpful tips you have for moving multiple projects forward simultaneously.
Segment 1: Strategies for getting things out of your head [00:00-10:14]
In this first segment, I talk about several strategies for writing down or logging projects so that you aren’t taking up mental energy by keeping them all in your head. More specifically, I talk about white board use, conducting a project audit, and my calendaring strategies.
Segment 2: Strategies for sharing the load [10:15-18:51]
In segment two, I share several strategies for sharing and delegating research tasks, which can also serve to help keep you accountable when working on multiple projects simultaneously.
Segment 3: Strategies for keeping multiple projects organized [18:52-31:44]
In segment three, I discuss some strategies for organizing multiple projects and share some digital resources that I’ve found to be helpful.
