Laura Vanderkam’s TED Talk on time management emphasizes that we have more time than we think. She suggests prioritizing tasks that align with our goals and values. Key points include:
- Time Management Myths: We often think we’re too busy, but we can find time for important things (her story about water in the cellar is so spot on!)
- Prioritization: Focus on what matters most by understanding your true priorities.
- Time Tracking: Track your time to understand how you actually spend it.
- Planning: Plan your weeks around your priorities.
- Perspective Shift: View time as something you can control.
Vanderkam says, we build the lives we want and then time saves itself. Time will stretch to accommodate what we chose to put into it. Brilliant perspectives, worth watching!
Effective time management isn’t just about organizing tasks—it’s about making space for genuine rest. Remember, a well-rested leader is a resilient leader. In next month’s newsletter, look forward to learning about the real cognitive benefits of rest for more resilience.
