SUMMARY:Learning and Development Roundtable - Simple tools to stop you and your brain from being overwhelmed
DESCRIPTION:You know the feeling. You sit down to focus\, and it’s like 47 browser tabs are suddenly open in your brain. Three unfinished tasks are quietly nagging at you. You’ve made about two hundred tiny decisions before 10 am and you haven’t even had your second coffee. And somewhere in there\, you’re supposed to also be creative\, patient\, a good decision-maker\, and a collaborative team player. \nThat’s not a willpower problem. It’s an overwhelmed-brain problem. \nTurns out there’s actually a name for what’s happening: cognitive load.  \nYour brain has a limited amount of working memory at any given moment\, and modern work asks it to juggle far more than it was built to hold. No wonder you’re wiped out by 1 pm. \nHere’s the good news: overwhelm isn’t something you have to white-knuckle through. It’s manageable\, with simple\, practical tools you can start using immediately\, no willpower required. \nIn this free workshop on October 15th\, with me\, Lee-Anne Ragan\, you’ll:\n\nGain insight into why cognitive overload is SUCH an issue and why everyone’s suffering from it\nLearn seven simple tools to reduce all that clamoring and hammering in your brain (emphasis on simple)\nUncover the ridiculously simple way to be kind to your future self and the massive payoff re overwhelm when you do\nReduce your own overwhelm by getting all the Roundtable resources in one sweet place with a workbook and replay\nGain access to 13+ years of Learning and Development Roundtable resources\nCount the workshop towards your annual UN professional development (if you’re UN staff — but know that you don’t have to be UN staff to attend; any and all are welcome)\n\nCome ready to feel your shoulders drop an inch or two. This one’s practical\, and genuinely fun. \nRSVP using this link by October 13th. Then watch your inbox for our agenda and how to participate online.\nPlease note the dates and times alternate each month so as to reach more people in various time zones at their request. And please double-check the time in your time zone because\, well\, time zones are tricky. Use 10 am EAT as your comparison. \n\n8-9:30 am London\n9-10:30 am Paris/Rome\n10-11:30 am Nairobi\, Beirut\, Mogadishu\, Amman\n11-12:30 pm Abu Dhabi\n12:45-2:15 pm Kathmandu\n3-4:30 pm Manila\n4-5:30 pm Fukuoka\n\nCan’t make it live? Don’t worry\, by registering\, you’ll get access to the recording. \nIf you’ve just realized with dread that the time is untenable for you this month\, don’t worry … as long as you’re a Learning and Development Roundtable member (membership is free) you’ll get access to the audio and (timestamped) video recordings\, workbook and more\, plus all 13+ years of Roundtable resources. \nTake action now–>\nRSVP for this Roundtable by October 13th\, and you’ll automatically become a member to receive invitations to the monthly Roundtables and get access to all 13+ years of Roundtable resources.
