Video1: Empowering your time: Introduction 

Welcome to the first video of Empowering your time series, from which you would be able to explore efficient and practical strategies to create a value-based schedule for your work and life. Dr. Christina Shenvi walked us through a 4-step framework: decide-plan-do-reflect and you will learn how to determine your actions to get the results that you want. 

Video 2: Empowering Your Time Step1: Decide 

What are your concrete goals for this year in different areas (work, new projects, family, personal, health)? By watching this video about the first step of the empowering your time framework, you will learn how to strategically define your big values and align your time to them. 

Video 3: Empowering Your Time Step2: Plan (Part 1) 

Practical strategies for planning are important to align your schedule with your big values and goals. We moved on to discuss several frameworks and tools that help plan and examine your time expenditures. You will learn more about the deep work and shallow work in this Part 1 video and the Part 2 next. 

Video 4: Empowering Your Time Step2: Plan (Part 2) 

In this video, Christina continued to share more on the second step: PLAN, of the empowering your time framework. The focus would be on how to work efficiently with all the shallow work around us and build the resilient schedule to plan the deep and shallow work. 

Video 5: Empowering Your Time Step3: Do 

Habits account for ~50% of our action. We shift our attention from decide, plan to action in this video and discuss several frameworks that help understand better what habit means for our future. 

Video 6: Empowering Your Time Step4: Reflect 

Reflection turns our experience into insight. In the last step of the empowering your time framework, Christina guided us with practical strategies to actively manage our mind.
