Lesson Summary

This course gives you the opportunity to reconsider your relationship with time, and as part of your professional development! We will think about what you can do within your work and your life to find ways to get rid of that feeling of overwhelm, to reduce that sense of busyness and to try and get back to those kinds of experiences and feelings of time and relationships and the work that we do, that matters so much. And to really connect with that. 

You will learn:

  • To understand there are many ways to think about time
  • To recognise the way time is used to manage and manipulate
  • To reflect on your chronodiversity and how to use different ways of thinking about time
  • To learn about techniques and approaches to help you address the stress and overwhelm that comes with a poor relationship with time.

Note: chronodiversity is a way to describe the different ways we experience time. Time as in weeks, days, hours and minutes is different to experience time as four terms in a year. We might experience it as the four seasons or for other cultures seven or eight seasons. Archaeologists and paleontologists try to connect to deep time that charts tens of thousands to millions of years. 

Course time:

About 30 to 45 minutes - perfect for after work or during a spare period. You will have ongoing access via your user dashboard.
