Many modern-day scientists and engineers are challenged by being overwhelmed by the demands made on them, by the interactions with others and the emotions that are raised by these interactions. In the good times this usually is manageable, but when encountering a challenge in personal or professional life it can be difficult to maintain productive and harmonious habits. This course provided effective methods for effective self-management.

Course Outline
In this short course we explore habits of thinking or modern professionals and how these habits help or restrict at work and in personal life. Specifically we focus on managing time, managing emotions, and managing conversations. This involves introspection into our habits, and ways to realign these habits with goals that serve us. A central idea is that when we don’t manage our emotions, they will manage us. We cover practical habits for mental hygiene, and how these affect the way we show up professionally and personally. This has implications for the way we spend out time, our interactions with others, the conversations that we have, and the way we negotiate.
