About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to our podcast, today I'm thrilled to have Dr. Jane Smith with us, an expert in behavioral economics. She's here to talk about an exciting new course, "Certificate Programme in Behavioral Economics for Time Utilization." So, Jane, can you give us a brief overview of this program? GUEST: Absolutely! This course empowers learners to understand cognitive biases and their impact on time management. It provides practical strategies for time optimization based on behavioral insights and helps improve productivity. HOST: Fascinating! How have cognitive biases affected time management in your experience? GUEST: Well, in my experience, people often underestimate how long tasks will take due to planning fallacy, leading to poor time management and increased stress. HOST: That's relatable. What current trends in behavioral economics are most relevant to time utilization? GUEST: There's growing interest in using nudges to promote better time management habits. Nudges are small interventions that influence behavior while preserving freedom of choice. HOST: And what challenges have you faced when teaching this subject? GUEST: The main challenge is helping students recognize their own biases and preconceptions about time management. It takes self-awareness and honesty to see how our own behaviors can hinder productivity. HOST: That's a great point. Lastly, where do you see the future of behavioral economics in time utilization? GUEST: I believe we'll see more integration of technology and behavioral insights to create personalized productivity tools. These tools will cater to individual cognitive styles and help people optimize their time management. HOST: Dr. Jane Smith, thank you so much for joining us today and sharing your insights on the "Certificate Programme in Behavioral Economics for Time Utilization." We're excited to see how this field evolves and how this course can help learners improve their productivity. To learn more about the course, visit our website. Thanks for tuning in!
