Sessions details:
Session 1: Cognitive Offloading. We live in an age of information overload. Many of us receive constant social media notifications and emails. But information consumes our attention. And our attention consumes our time. If we want to find more quality time for ourselves, we need to learn how to better organize our information. This is what cognitive offloading is all about.
Session 2: The Time Map. Schedules, calendars, to-do lists. We all have them. But very often they end up making us even more confused. Drawing on latest science, this session is about how to optimally structure your tasks and your time.
Session 3: Finding Time & Making Time. We all want more time. How can we actually do that? This session covers practical, evidence-based methods to make more time for ourselves while defending our time against intrusions.
Session 4: Intentionality. Time literacy is first and foremost about living a purposeful life. That means being intentional with one’s time. Philosophers and spiritual figures saw argued that a life well-lived is a life made of schedules that reflect our beliefs, values, and philosophy. This session will show you how you can use time in a way that makes your life more meaningful.
Each session comprises about a 40-minute lesson followed by 20 minutes of Q&A (or even longer depending on the audience’s needs).
