#INORMS2018
We can't just decide to say no to the stressful tasks that are not fully in our control - but we can decide whether we get frustrated by them
Sage advice from @NewPubStoicism on how to limit our stress levels
Also in absolute agreement with @NewPubStoicism that we need to look at the qualitative as well as quantitative when considering the value we add. This point has been one of my key takeaways from the conference.
Great talk at #INORMS2018 from @NewPubStoicism today - Research Managers are in the business of trust & relationships, not just budgets & proposals
Really nice talk by @NewPubStoicism. I really like the idea of considering the principles of stoicism in our professional lives as a means to manage stress and other MH issues.
Also, loved this quote: Don’t blame on ill will that which can be blamed on incompetence #INORMS1018
