12. How can I be more productive at work?

The professional world looks dramatically different from the classroom.

As students we grow accustomed to weekly due dates, and very rarely give our attention to anything with a longer timeline. Sure, there are semester projects, but even on these larger tasks the majority of our efforts take place within a week of the due date. Meanwhile, the working world asks us to balance priorities with a wide range of timelines.

Here’s what you can expect today:

  • Ways to balance projects, repetitive tasks, and fire-fighting to make meaningful contributions to your organization
  • How to ask your supervisor for help balancing your workload
  • The secret to getting more done at work (that isn’t actually a secret): love what you do.
