Many scientists feel that they have too much to do: experiments, reports, grant applications, teaching, mentoring, replying to emails, writing presentations, making posters, reading\u2026 life! It often feels as if 24 hours in a day is not enough.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s worth thinking about how to manage your time efficiently to how to avoid wasting any of it, wherever possible. In this episode David Payne, chief careers editor at Nature<\/em>, speaks discovers some time management tips from Paul Marsh from Lightbulb<\/a>, a UK training and management consultancy.<\/p>\n

We then move from managing your time to managing what we put that time towards. The psychologist Edwin Locke, professor emeritus at the\u00a0Robert H Smith School of Business<\/a> at the University of Maryland, US, talks about his groundbreaking work in goal setting research, which began in the 1960\u2019s and continues to this day.<\/p>\n

We also have our very first careers expert answering your questions. This month Lauren Celano, co-founder and CEO of \u00a0Propel Careers<\/a>, a life sciences career development company based in Boston, US, answers Marwa Hassan\u2019s question. Marwa is a 3rd year PhD student at the Institute for Molecular Bioscience<\/a> at the University of Queensland in Australia.<\/p>\n

You can get involved by asking your career question, which we will pose to a science careers expert. Just send your questions to naturejobseditor@nature.com<\/a>. Sadly we won\u2019t be able to answer everyone\u2019s questions, so if you don\u2019t hear from us, it\u2019s not because we\u2019re ignoring you.<\/p>\n
