Busting the myth of multitasking.
To be productive at work, we need to manage both our time and our energy — and doing one at the expense of the other leads to greatly diminishing returns. In this interactive session, we bust the myth of multitasking by investigating the neuroscience behind taking in huge amounts of information while continually shifting our focus and attention.
We’ll also leverage a growing body of research on “chronotypes” to determine how to structure your day to maximize both your energy and your cognitive acuity.
What You’ll Learn
In this session, we’ll explore:
- Interruption science
- Your chronotype
- Embracing mindfulness
- Structuring your day
