Talk "As time goes by"

On 8 March, 14h, Prof. Fernando Boavida will give one talk entitled "As time goes by" in the following zoom link: https://bit.ly/3qbJkWp.

Abstract:

Tools and technologies have never been so powerful and, yet, so many people are unable to cope with their tasks and are always behind schedule. To-do lists and agendas ‘follow’ us everywhere, in all sorts of cloud-enabled devices, but never before so many tasks were abandoned and so many deadlines failed. Software, videos, courses and books on time management are everywhere but, somehow, they are ineffective. The reason is that what most people know about time management is, simply put, wrong. This talk addresses time management from innovative, evolutionary, and refreshing perspectives, weighing all its angles and touching all its nuts and bolts. It covers not only insights from successful, well-known personalities, but also approaches and techniques fine-tuned by the speaker during his 38-year-long career. If you need to know more about time management, this talk is definitely for you! And if you think you don’t, it’s equally so!
