In this episode of The Career Catalyst, we explore the psychology of motivation and procrastination with Dr. Rylee Oram, a professor, educational consultant, and learning strategist at the University of Ottawa and Carleton University with a PhD in Experimental Psychology. Her research explores academic motivation, procrastination, and mental health in undergraduate students, as well as how we can better understand what drives (or drains) student success. From her journey through academia to her insights on brain chemistry, burnout, and the psychology behind motivation, Dr. Oram shares practical strategies that help students not only study smarter but take care of their mental well-being along the way.
