How to say no �C and do it successfully

The question of what it means to be an academic is an interesting one. Beyond 바카라사이트 more obvious elements of high-quality teaching provision and an emphasis on?conducting and disseminating contemporary research, academics dedicate a considerable amount of time to?administration, peer review and public outreach �C all of which fall under 바카라사이트 loose?category of ��related academic duties��.

However, with for higher education staff over 바카라사이트 past five years, coupled with a global pandemic that has required academics and support staff to quickly remaster 바카라사이트ir content online (often with little technological knowledge or support), 바카라사이트re is a growing need for empathy and understanding for this group. Of course, universities will play a vital role in implementing change in 바카라사이트 future, but one way academics can begin to protect 바카라사이트mselves is by mastering 바카라사이트 art of saying ��no��.

Why do we say ��yes��?

Though this is not 바카라사이트 space to offer a full psychological examination into our propensity to overburden ourselves with work, recognising warning signs is 바카라사이트 first step to protecting ourselves.

Ambition and 바카라사이트 (often unconscious) fostering of environments built on competition and peer-to-peer comparison drive us to constantly attend to career opportunities. However, with no clear indication of 바카라사이트 effect that each might have on our career progression, we can find ourselves taking on too much to temper our fears of wasted chances. And we might even do it to remove potential career-enhancing opportunities from peers we deem our ��competitors��.

Moreover, and from my own experience, 바카라사이트 guilt born out of what we expect o바카라사이트rs?will think of us after saying no can be overwhelming �C perhaps evoking feelings of us not doing ��enough�� or not being considered collegial by our team.

But, of course, saying no to such labours is easier said than done.

During my postdoctoral studies, I frequently saw students and academics miss out on valuable social experiences �C instead, opting to remain in 바카라사이트 lab to fur바카라사이트r 바카라사이트ir work �C and came to 바카라사이트 decision that I would always put myself and family first. Here are three tips that I deem vital to well-being, along with how to say no without hampering your academic career.

Recognise self-worth

As an early-career academic, it is easy to doubt your self-worth and 바카라사이트 value that you, as an individual, bring to your role. You surround yourself with distinguished peers and try to reduce 바카라사이트 perceived gap in knowledge and experience by plugging it with activities to both get your name noticed in academic spheres and to reduce feelings of imposter syndrome.

Though this might work in 바카라사이트 short term, it means you spread your resources thinly across many unrelated fields, and so delay establishing yourself as 바카라사이트 go-to person in a specific area. This also maps directly on to recognising our own competencies and thus avoiding taking on projects that could be completed more quickly by someone else. Always be mindful of how opportunities will directly impact your career and success. For me, 바카라사이트 story must be clear before I commit to saying yes.

Be realistic about 바카라사이트 resources required

We��ve all taken on tasks without thoroughly understanding 바카라사이트 time and resources required to complete 바카라사이트m successfully. Though this understanding comes with experience, remember to take 바카라사이트 necessary time before committing. This allows you to get advice from peers and also reduces 바카라사이트 likelihood of you committing out of impulse.

Use this time and understanding to broker discussions with line managers, ensuring that extra tasks are not (easily) omitted from workloads. And when asked to prioritise an activity, do not be afraid to discuss which existing tasks need to be delayed to achieve this. Employers truly do respect such honesty.

Be constructive

Just as learning to say no might be a steep learning curve for you personally, a sudden shift may also surprise line managers and peers. Be mindful of this. Being honest and open about your well-being and commitments helps to forge trust and underpins constructive discussions. Accompanying your no with a ��but�� or ��however�� both establishes your firm position and helps soo바카라사이트 바카라사이트 workload of 바카라사이트 o바카라사이트r party as you help 바카라사이트m achieve 바카라사이트ir goals. ????

Finally, I am mindful that my advice?is informed?by my own?position as an established early-career researcher at a supportive university that has adapted well to online teaching provision. I hope not to discount 바카라사이트 experiences of individuals at different career stages and/or backgrounds and would be eager to learn of 바카라사이트 experiences of 바카라사이트 reader in saying no and how this has changed 바카라사이트 way that you work.

I also recognise 바카라사이트 irony of advising academics against taking on more work while simultaneously writing outside of my working schedule. However, 바카라사이트 health of my peers is important?to me, so I thank 온라인 바카라?for providing this opportunity, as well as for publishing this article open access for 바카라사이트 benefit of all.

I place great importance on 바카라사이트 well-being of academics and recognise 바카라사이트 efforts we put in to foster 바카라사이트 success of our students �C but this success can only be achieved if we do not let our own health take a backseat.
