Use SCRUM - a scheduling technique most companies use. It's perfect for academics.
Details in text below:
👇
Summary:
1. Create a backlog of tasks and assign a difficulty to each (1,2,4,8 for the number of hours it takes to complete)
2. Plan meetings and seminars etc as they also take time.
3. Before starting your week distribute the tasks from the backlog to the days of the week. Don't plan more than 8hr of work a day (or less if you have other commitments).
4. During the week: Check off what you have completed (and how long it took you).
5. At the end of the week: Understand what you got done and what you didn't.
Understand that if you didn't get everything done it is a planning error. It does not mean you need to work harder/more (this is just recipe for burnout and I have been there myself). It just means you need to plan better. Efficiency comes in relaxation.
Every day you manage to accomplish what you planned you will feel great about yourself.
6. Next week you can copy and paste the open tasks to the next week and start the process again. Some people prefer to have a bi-weekly instead.
What tools can you use?
There are dozens of tools for kanban boards. The simplest one is of course Trello.
