Excellence is mundane. Superlative performance is really a confluence of dozens of small skills or activities, each one learned or stumbled upon, which have been carefully drilled into habit and then are fitted together in a synthesized whole.

Real-world activities
Every lesson includes an activity you can use as part of your daily work. Courses are designed so that completing the activities help you to move forward the work you need to do anyway. No nights or weekends required.
Responsive design
Web-first design means that lessons are fully responsive, adapting to phone, tablet, and desktop formats. Text-based lessons and optimised images mean that the course lessons load quickly, even in low-bandwidth contexts.
Video demonstrations
Videos in select lessons include real-world use cases to demonstrate the development of habits and strategies as part of an authentic academic workflow.
Interactive lessons
Every lesson includes the option of asking questions in a public forum. You can share examples of your own practice, or ask for input or suggestions from the course creator, or other participants.

How are the Head Space courses different?
- No additional workload. Progress real tasks during your typical working day as part of the course activities.
- No deadlines. Complete lessons at your own pace without the added stress of course due dates.
- No assessments. The only outcome that matters with these courses is how your workflow has improved.
Are these courses right for you?
Does this sound familiar?
You’re passionate about your work, but drowning in admin tasks and meetings. Your research and writing – the work that really matters – keeps getting pushed aside, while nights and weekends have become “catch-up time.”
You know there must be a better way. Working longer hours isn’t sustainable, but standard productivity advice doesn’t address the unique challenges of academic life.
The Head Space courses offer a different approach. Learn to create space for meaningful work while maintaining balance. Our framework helps you build sustainable practices that protect time for what matters most.
