TRV030 The Multitasking Mirage: Find Your Focus, Flow, and Finish Line

Instructor: Sarah Hanson

The research is overwhelming—our brains aren’t built for multitasking. When we constantly juggle various cognitive tasks, we experience decreased productivity, impaired cognitive ability, increased stress, and diminished creativity—all of which reduce us to fractions of the effective professionals we are capable of being. Many professionals surrender to a frantic and unfocused workstyle out of the belief that there is no other way. The modern-day workplace simply demands us to function in this manner, right? Wrong.

You can make project management a positive work experience through understanding project functions from start to finish.
