Show Notes

In this live coaching session I’m talking to Elizabeth Canning.

Elizabeth is an Associate Professor in the Psychology Department at Washington State University. This fall she will begin her first year-long sabbatical in Berlin, Germany with her family.

Elizabeth is fortunate that a lot of the logistics associated with moving abroad for sabbatical are being coordinated by the fellowship. Even so, she’s been busy working on all the arrangements for sabbatical and hasn’t had a lot of time to think about what she’s actually going to do while she’s in Berlin.

What Elizabeth was most concerned about is how to create structure in her days to ensure she uses her sabbatical time well. Her goals are to rest and recover from burnout, finish a few writing projects, and spend some time reading and generating a list of possible new projects.

If you’re wondering how to create structure in your days or how to balance personal and professional goals during your sabbatical, then I think you’re going to find this episode really helpful!
