EPISODE 11: HOW TO FIGURE OUT WHAT YOU WANT

EPISODE 11: HOW TO FIGURE OUT WHAT YOU WANT

In this episode of 'A Postdoc's Journal', I read a journal entry from December 2013-just before Christmas. This is a slightly different journal entry where I was collating lists of things I like and don't like about work from ANOTHER mini-journal I was keeping. This was a great tool I used to help me figure out how I like to work. If you want to try it yourself, I share some advice on how to use it effectively.
