SUMMARY:Break the Anxiety-Procrastination Cycle
DESCRIPTION:Although many people think that procrastination is a time management issue\, most often it is an emotional response. \nWe’ll tackle the “complicated failure of self-regulation” in the anxiety-procrastination cycle by learning tips\, reviewing research insights\, and practicing practical strategies to intervene when anxiety and procrastination are feeding each other. These approaches are from the trio of actions that\, when combined\, have the strongest impact in lowering procrastination\, and include exercises for practicing in between sessions. \nThis three-session skills program with Kathy Somers of the Stress Management and High Performance Clinic meets online for an hour on three consecutive Monday evenings beginning at 7 p.m. on Jan. 27. \nYour link will be e-mailed to you after you have completed your program registration. \nFee for this 3-session program: \n\n$10 for University of Guelph students (due to a subsidy from U of G Student Health Services)\n$27 for members of United Steelworkers Local 4120 (due to a subsidy from Local 4120)\n$57 for all others\n\nThe Stress Management and High Performance Clinic began in 1978 in the Department of Human Kinetics with Dr. Evelyn Bird’s research on the impact of biofeedback and self-regulation/Non-Sleep Deep Rest techniques on health and performance. When Dr. Bird retired from teaching at the University\, Student Affairs asked the Clinic to continue providing this research-based skills training for interested students\, staff\, faculty\, and community members.

SUMMARY:Virtual Winter Tree I.D.
DESCRIPTION:No leaves? No problem! In this workshop\, offered in a convenient Zoom setting\, you will learn about the variety of tree features that are useful for identifying trees in winter. From buds and twigs to leaf scars and bark\, we will take an in-depth look at the surprisingly distinctive characteristics that let us unlock the identities of trees in their dormant season. We will focus on native Ontario tree species. Optional ‘homework’ assignments will encourage you to get outside and observe trees in between sessions. The program runs once a week for 4 weeks. Sessions are recorded and made available to registrants for a limited time\, so you can take part even if you are not available for the live Zoom sessions. \nFee: $50 (plus HST) per person for the 4 session program. \n* Please note that we are also going to be offering an all-day\, in-person Winter Tree ID workshop on Saturday\, Feb. 21\, 2026 (ie. you book one day or the other not both). The virtual and in-person programs are stand-alone\, independent programs\, but if you are very keen you may enjoy taking both!
