Boost motivation and tackle procrastination
- Date: Friday 4 April

Motivation is the urge to engage in goal-directed behaviour. Sometimes, we can lack motivation to complete difficult tasks.

This workshop will explore mood and motivation, practical strategies (5-minute rule, activity scheduling, Pomodoro technique) to boost motivation and reduce procrastination.
