Hi

This is my first post, so hello to everyone and Happy New Year!

I just started my first postdoc and I'm looking for tips\suggestions on maximising productivity. I am now working full time for the first time since having a baby 2 years ago. I'm trying to make the best use of my time at work, so that I can reserve evenings and weekends for my husband and child (where possible).

So, how do you make the most out of your time? One change I've made since finishing my PhD is to switch off alerts for emails and notifications after 9.15 AM. I then check them at lunchtime, and in the hour before I go home. This has definitely made a difference as I don't get distracted by other things.

What things do you do?

Best wishes,
