A lot of this would have to Hans and Franz will start out live if you're old enough, hear me now. But believe me later, right? A lot of this is going to make sense later. And one of the nice things is I gave this gave his volunteer to put this up on the web, I understand that people can actually watch videos on the web now. So this is so a lot of this all makes sense later. And when I talk about your boss, if you're a student, think about that as your academic advisor if you're a PhD student thing that is your PhD advisor. And if you're, you know, if you're watching this and you're a young child, think of this as your parent, because that's sort of the person who is in some sense your boss. And the talk goes very fast. And I as I said I'm very big on specific techniques. I'm not really big on platitudes. I mean, platitudes are nice, but they don't really help me get something done tomorrow. The other thing is that one good thief is worth 10 good scholars and in fact you can replace the word scholars in that sentence with almost anything. So almost everything in this talk is to some degree inspired which is a fun Anthalie a fancy way of saying saying lifted for from these two books, and I found those books very useful, but it's much better to get them in distilled form. So what I've basically done is collected the nuggets for your bath. I like to talk about the time famine, I think it's a nice phrase. Does anybody here feel like they have too much time? Okay, new buddy. Excellent. And I like the word famine, because it's a little bit like thinking about Africa. I mean, you can airlift all the food you want in to solve the crisis this week. But the problem is systemic. And you really need systemic solutions. So a time management solution that says, Oh, I'm going to fix things for you in the next 24 hours is laughable. Just like saying, I'm going to cure hunger in Africa in the next year, you need to think long term, and you need to change fundamental underlying processes. Because the problem is systemic. We just have too many things to do and not enough time to do them. You think remembers that? It's not just about time management. That sounds like a kind of a lukewarm, you know, a talk on time management. That's kind of you know, milquetoast. But how about if the talk is how about not having ulcers, right, that catches my attention. So a lot of this is life advice. This is how to change the way you're doing a lot of the things and how you allocate your time, so that you will lead a happier, more wonderful life. And I loved in the introduction that you talked about fun, because if I've brought fun to academia, well, it's about damn time. I mean, you know, if you're not going to have fun, why do it? Right? That's what I want to know. I mean, life really is too short, if you're not going to enjoy it. You know, people who say, Well, I'm, I've got a job, but I don't really like it. And I'm like, Well, you could change. Well, that'd be a lot of work. You're right, you should keep going to work every day doing a job you don't like, Thank you. Good night, right. So the overall goal was fun. My middle child Logan is my favorite example. I don't think he knows how to not have fun. Now, granted, a lot of things he does are not fun for his mother and me. But he's loving every second of it. And he doesn't know how to do anything that isn't ballistic and full of life. And he's going to keep that quality. I think he's my little ticker. And I always remember Logan, when I think about the goal is to make sure that you lead your life, you know, I want to maximize use of time. But really, that's the means not the end. The end is maximizing fun. People who do intense studies and long people and videotape them, and so on and so forth. Say that the typical office worker wastes almost two hours a day, right? Their desk is messy, they can't find things, miss appointments unprepared for meetings, they they can't concentrate, does anybody in here by show of hands ever have any sense that one of these things is part of their life? Okay, I think we've got everybody. So this is a universal thing. And you shouldn't feel guilty. If some of these things are plaguing you, because they plague all of us. They plagued me for sure. And the other thing I want to tell you is that it sounds a little cliched and trite. But being successful does not make you manage your time well. Managing your time will make you successful. If I have been successful in my career, I assure you it's not because I'm smarter than all the other faculty. I mean, I'm looking around and looking at some of my former colleagues. I mean, I see Jim Cahoon up there, I am not smarter than Jim Kuhn. Okay. You know, I constantly look around the faculty places like the University of Virginia, or Carnegie Mellon, and I go, Tam, these are smart people. And I snuck in. But what I like to think I'm good at is the meta skills. Because if you're going to have to run with people who are faster than you, you have to like, find the right ways to optimize what skills you do have. So let's talk first about goals, priorities and planning. Anytime anything crosses your life, you've got to ask this thing I'm thinking about doing why am I doing it? Almost no one that I know starts with the core principle of there's this thing on my to do list. Why is it there? Because you start asking, Well, why? I mean, again, my kids are great at this. That's all I ever hear at home is why, why? Why? Right? And sooner or later, they're gonna stop saying why they're just gonna say, Okay, I'll do it.
