Goals vs Systems: Using Psychology to Improve Productivity with Dr. Joe Kim

The beginning of January inevitably inspires people to make positive changes in their lives by adopting new habits, dropping old habits, and setting particular goals. A month after the resolutions have been set but motivation drops off, what is the best way to achieve lasting success?

Join Dr. Joe Kim, a cognitive scientist and Associate Professor in Psychology, Neuroscience & Behaviour at McMaster for a discussion on how psychology can help you stick to your resolutions which will improve your personal and professional productivity. Learn why systems, with their focus on consistent processes, habits, and mindset, prove more effective in sustaining long-term success than short-lived objectives, and how the concept of lagging measures relates to the effectiveness of these systems. This talk will help you take the necessary steps to establish a system that leads to long-term results.
