摘要

Christina Hull rarely drops the ball. After two years as an assistant professor at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, she has her lab up and running, teaches undergraduate courses, serves on several committees and still manages to find time for the gym and for dinner every night with her six-year-old daughter, Madeline, and her husband, industry scientist Rob Brazas. But she's put one of her favourite leisure activities — playing the piano — on hold. How does she do it all? She and her husband stick to a schedule that revolves around Madeline's school and daycare. That keeps everyone on track to be home for dinner and ensures that Hull works efficiently during the day. But, she admits, it isn't a perfect system. "I did no time management when I was teaching a new course. I got in no workouts, cooked no dinners, and only slept from about 2 a.m. to 6 a.m. for those six weeks." Luckily, her family's schedule does allow for flexibility when one spouse needs it. But as the responsibilities of being a new investigator pile up, forsaking sleep will only get you so far. Time management is a skill all academics have to master early in their careers. By year two, a new lab should be equipped and staffed to run smoothly on a daily basis, freeing up time to refocus mental energy on research goals and bench work.
