Time Management Strategies:

• Total Working Hours: 38 hours
• Daily Allocation: Aim to keep average daily working hours under 8 to ensure efficiency and prevent burnout.
• Key Task Allocation: Schedule critical tasks like meetings and visa application early in the week to allow ample time for any follow-up required.
• Learning and Development: Position learning activities towards mid to end of the week to focus after handling urgent and important administrative tasks.

This time management and activity allocation can help PhD students effectively balance work and study tasks while ensuring personal well-being.
