Time Management

As a student at IIT-B, it is natural to occasionally feel overwhelmed given the number of commitments you have to keep up with. Often students feel like they're constantly running out of time and trying to keep up with the schedules. Sometimes, taking a step back and prioritising and setting goals can prove useful. 

To address this Bandhu, a SWC initiative is organizing a workshop on TIME MANAGEMENT by Ms Nivedita Pawar, consultant counsellor, SWC. 
This session will talk about tools and techniques that can be really helpful to effectively manage your time, prioritize work and set effective goals.

A talk on digital wellbeing by Rijul Arora

“Do you check your phone first thing in the morning or last thing in the night?"
"Do you feel your screens are in control of you instead of the other way around?"

We surely can relate to the above questions and empathize that we currently have an unhealthy relationship with Technology. Digital addiction has become a rather serious issue that has a negative impact on mental health. Especially now, when almost everything has been shifted online, our relationship with technology has become more crucial than ever. And it is thus important that we understand this interaction and engage with it judiciously, not letting it command our life.

To address this, Bandhu is organizing a transformational workshop and personal mentorship on Digital Well Being enabling increased mental and physical well being focusing on higher levels of happiness and productivity levels. Rijul Arora, 2 times TEDx speaker and Digital Transformation Consultant at EY, will be conducting the talk. 

Look forward to a session explaining the easy steps of digital detox.

Energy Management in the Human Body

We receive and generate a huge amount of energy (Prana Shakti), which can help us recover from psychosomatic disorders, improve the capacity of the brain to absorb, and help us with a stress-free life.

Request you to wear comfortable clothes, stay hydrated, not eat anything right before the session.
