The Habit Lab for Part-time PhDs
You’re juggling research with work, family, deadlines, and everything else in between. Consistency, focus and follow-through? That’s the part no one teaches you.
This workshop gives you a science-backed daily system to reduce overwhelm, make meaningful progress, and take control of your time, even when your capacity is limited.
What to expect
You’ll learn how to design a personal habit system that works with your life, not against it, using the evidence-based Tiny Habits® method.
Led by a certified Tiny Habits® practitioner, this session gives you a practical, low-pressure approach to staying consistent, even when your time and energy are limited.
You’ll walk away with:
- A simple method to build habits using your existing routine
- Tools to beat procrastination, manage energy, and focus when it counts
- A one-page plan no matter what stage of candidature you’re at, to keep your research moving, and even on low-capacity days
- A mindset shift - from pressure and perfection to practical progress
- Follow-up support through a virtual drop-in clinic for accountability and coaching
This is not about doing more. It’s about doing what matters most, in a way that actually works for you.
Who is this for?
This workhop is designed with part-time research candidates in mind, however, some full-time students may find it useful if they are also juggling research with work, family, deadlines, and everything else in between.
Places are limited for this event. If you book a place but can no longer attend, please contact researcher.development@ecu.edu.au with as much notice as possible so that we can offer places to people on the waiting list.
