In this course, Malissa Clark, an expert on workaholism and overwork, shares tools to identify the type of motivation, thinking and emotional patterns, and behaviors that drive overwork and workaholism. She helps you build skills in order to address each of these four dimensions of overwork, including strategies to better define what is urgent work, rethinking work prioritization to reduce overwork, ways to develop a realistic estimate of how much time a work task will take, as well as strategies to identify and reduce rumination and to effectively recover when not working.
