Work less to achieve more: lessons from the world’s most prolific and cited researchers | Prof Mark Reed

What would you expect the top ten most prolific and cited researchers to have in common?  Workaholics? Burnt out? No longer recognized by their families?  That’s what I thought, when I read the Times Higher Education list of the world’s most prolific and cited researchers last December.  But the reverse seems to be true. I reached out to all ten and secured interviews with four, and what they had in common surprised me.

In this talk, I will tell you what I learned from these researchers and my reading of an unparalleled breadth of interdisciplinary evidence. I will share practical techniques you can use to become more productive in a fraction of your current working day. My talk will be illustrated with stories of my own experience applying these techniques in my career as a researcher. What you will learn from this talk will make you more productive, more satisfied with what you produce, and enable you to be happy working less, and being more.
