Course overview
Since the start of my career as a psychologist and behavioral scientist, I have researched what makes people productive without pushing them beyond their limits. The key discovery? There is no one-size-fits-all solution. What allows you to be productive in a relaxed way is incredibly personal and unique to you as an individual.
The blueprint for relaxed productivity —a completely different approach than the usual "work harder, more, and faster" advice— has been extensively tested and proven successful. Now, you have the chance to reveal your unique formula.
In this course, you will discover:
✔ Your focus mode and how to enhance its impact in your daily life, all while respecting your boundaries
✔ Your unique distractions and how to outsmart them using scientific insights
✔ How to identify and reverse your personal triggers for procrastination
✔ When to tackle which specific tasks and, more importantly, when the most productive decision is to choose rest
✔ The types of rest that recharge you
✔ How to apply proven strategies for implementing new habits
✔ How your productivity strategy can adapt to future changes
