198: Project Management Skills Versus Tools

198: Project Management Skills Versus Tools

Have you tried project management tools like Trello, Asana, or Monday but still struggle to get publications out on time? Project management tools will not solve your project management problems. First, you need to develop a robust set of project management skills.

In today's episode, I break down the difference between project management skills and project management tools. I highlight five essential project management skills every academic needs. Then, I explain ways that workflow and task management influence time management and how mastering these systems will set you up for success. Once you sharpen your project management skills, you can match your writing process to a software tool. Tune in to learn how to make positive changes in the way that you write and publish!
