When we go into academia, either as a student or instructor, we're often not taught how to create efficient processes and systems in our workflow. Whether it be in our research or courses, we waste a lot of time trying to figure out how to be more efficient.
The Efficient Academic will help you save time so you can spend it doing the things you love, whether it be in your professional or personal life.

Dana is an efficiency nerd, constantly striving to improve her personal and professional systems so she has time to do what she loves, including reading, writing, playing with her dogs and cats, and watching TV and movies with her family and friends.
Course: Learn Zotero
Why should you learn a reference management software?
If you are writing anything that involves references or in-text citations, then you need a reference manager.
I recommend Zotero because it's free, run by a non-profit, and open source.
It's one of my favorite efficiency hacks because once you learn Zotero you're going to save a ton of time creating any resource that requires references or in-text citations.
Thesis? No problem. 100+ page dissertation? EASY. No more spending time at the end of writing to build your reference list or check your in-text citations are in your citation style. It's all done automagically!
