Boost Your Motivation, Productivity, and Emotional Well-being with AI

When our to-do list feels endless or stress takes over, it’s easy to get overwhelmed by our emotions. We might find ourselves spending hours but barely making progress, or procrastinating until the last minute—not because we’re lazy, but because our brains are reacting to the pressure. In this session, we’ll explore science-based practices and how AI can help us better understand and break free from these negative loops. By tuning into what’s really going on inside, we can get more done, feel more motivated, and find a little more happiness along the way.
