Course Overview

Do you find yourself overwhelmed by competing priorities, struggling to stay productive under pressure or frustrated by your inability to change unhelpful habits? This course is designed to help you take control of your stress and time management by combining neuroscience, psychology and behaviour design into a practical, easy-to-follow toolkit.

You’ll learn how stress impacts the brain and body, including how it alters memory, decision-making and hormonal regulation. Through short, engaging video lectures, the course explores how to recognise and overcome cognitive distortions – those subtle, recurring thought patterns that amplify stress and cloud judgement. You'll gain insight into heuristics and cognitive shortcuts, learning how to use them wisely to make better, faster decisions and conserve mental energy.

This course introduces practical strategies such as minimalism and habit design to declutter your environment and improve focus. You’ll use BJ Fogg’s Behavioural Model to understand how motivation, ability and prompts interact – and how you can redesign your behaviour to prevent stress before it starts.

By the end of the course, you’ll be equipped to spot the mental traps that sabotage productivity, implement changes using scientifically backed behaviour models and create new habits that reduce stress and increase efficiency. With interactive worksheets to guide your reflections and exercises, you’ll not only learn the theory, you’ll put it into action.

If you’re ready to manage stress more effectively and finally master your time, enrol now and start creating meaningful, lasting change.
