Thus began my career-long love&amp;#x2F;hate relationship with project management (mostly hate).&lt;p&gt;While I am sure that scientists and academics can do well with general-purpose time-management skills, I think that industry could perhaps have more to gain by picking up some tips from how scientists work (and ease-off on the obsession with project management).</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Ways to manage your time better</title><url>https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-019-00973-6</url></story>
