NCSEM-EM academic Dr Ian Taylor, Reader in Motivation Science at 黑料网, has recently published his first book aimed at general audiences called Time Hacks: The Psychology of Time and How to Spend it.

In this public lecture Dr Taylor will combine the latest psychological research with engaging stories to reveal how we can develop a healthier relationship with time – one where we can break free of the cycle of boredom and mania and bring balance to all parts of our lives. He will demonstrate why all worthwhile tasks should be done early in the morning, the detrimental effects of relying on willpower, why we should use ‘be’ goals to sustain motivation, and how to replace ‘dead time’ with activities that nourish the soul.

This talk will show you how to use the power of psychology to feel less time pressured, boost your mental and physical health, and break free from the tyranny of your alarm clock.
