Workshop Energy Management (in English)

To what extent do you monitor your energy levels during the day and plan your activities accordingly? An active or passive break if necessary? Or do you recognize the tendency to continue working at the expense of proper breaks? Skipping a meal and having sugar cravings later? The fact is that the harder we work, the less likely we are able to observe how we are doing. Or, more importantly, what we really need.

In this workshop you will learn more about your personal energy management. What constitutes energy and how can you regulate that in a sustainable way? You will discover that your personal battery consists of several components. Every component can get empty while using it and needs to be recharged as a consequence – as you are only as strong as your weakest component. You will investigate what requires energy and what gives you energy and how to find a balance between both. Furthermore, you will investigate how boredom, feeling overwhelmed and the concept of flow are interrelated. This will help you to improve engagement.

After this workshop you will have more grip on your own energy pattern. This will lead to less drain, more flow, and a better work/study-life balance as a result.

Our no-show policy

We are happy to offer workshops for free to all Utrecht University students and PhD-candidates. However: free of charge does not mean free of responsibility. Our activities tend to be fully booked well in advance. For every late cancellation or no-show we have had to disappoint others who would have liked to attend. This is how we work: 

• Once you have signed up for a workshop, we expect you to attend;
• If you need to cancel your registration, do so at the earliest possible moment, at least 24 hours before the workshop;
• Not showing up without notice will mean you cannot participate in any Career Services activity for 8 weeks. Two no-shows mean you cannot participate for the remainder of the academic year.
