Apr 11, 2024 — 12 p.m. to 1 p.m.
Effective time management goes beyond simple tools like calendars or applications; it requires a deeper understanding of our own minds. This seminar, organized by the Faculty Affairs office, invites participants to meet Dr. Christina Shenvi and discuss why we avoid certain tasks and practical strategies to help you manage your time better with less stress.
Empowering your time: How to do more of what matters with less stress
In the seminar, Dr. Christina Shenvi, Associate Professor of Emergency Medicine and founder of Time For Your Life, discusses how to empower your time and how to do more of what matters with less stress. Managing your time is not just something you do, it's how you do everything in your life. When we think about time management, often things like task apps, calendars, and scheduling programs come to mind. However, good time management requires a much deeper understanding of our own minds. The reasons you procrastinate or avoid certain tasks go much deeper than just needing another app on your phone.
In this session, Dr. Shenvi will use concepts that range from Stoic philosophy to modern educational psychology literature to explain why we avoid certain tasks and will give practical strategies to help you manage your time better with less stress.
By the end of this session, participants should feel more empowered, confident, and optimistic about managing their time.
In the session, Dr. Shenvi will outline four key tips for managing your time.:
- Deciding intentionally what is most important for you.
- Planning your work with deep and shallow frameworks.
- Understanding how your emotions influence your work.
- The importance of reflection for continuous improvement.
