Playtime Comments : [TED] How to gain control of your free time | Laura Vanderkam

ma****:

00:05
When people find out I write about time management, they assume two things. One is that I'm always on time, and I'm not. I have four small children, and I would like to blame them for my occasional tardiness, but sometimes it's just not their fault. I was once late to my own speech on time management. 

tardiness : đi trễ


00:27
(Laughter) 

00:28
We all had to just take a moment together and savor that irony.

irony : trớ trêu



00:33
The second thing they assume is that I have lots of tips and tricks for saving bits of time here and there. Sometimes I'll hear from magazines that are doing a story along these lines, generally on how to help their readers find an extra hour in the day. And the idea is that we'll shave bits of time off everyday activities, add it up, and we'll have time for the good stuff. I question the entire premise of this piece, but I'm always interested in hearing what they've come up with before they call me. Some of my favorites: doing errands where you only have to make right-hand turns

add it up : tích tiểu thành đại
entire : toàn bộ
premise : tiền đề
premise of this piece : giả thuyết
errand: việc vặt



01:03
(Laughter) 

01:04
Being extremely judicious in microwave usage: it says three to three-and-a-half minutes on the package, we're totally getting in on the bottom side of that. And my personal favorite, which makes sense on some level, is to DVR your favorite shows so you can fast-forward through the commercials. That way, you save eight minutes every half hour, so in the course of two hours of watching TV, you find 32 minutes to exercise. 

judicious: khôn ngoan

microwave: lò vi sóng

fast-forward : tua nhanh

01:24
(Laughter) 

01:25
Which is true. You know another way to find 32 minutes to exercise? Don't watch two hours of TV a day, right? 

01:32
(Laughter) 

01:33
Anyway, the idea is we'll save bits of time here and there, add it up, we will finally get to everything we want to do. But after studying how successful people spend their time and looking at their schedules hour by hour, I think this idea has it completely backward. We don't build the lives we want by saving time. We build the lives we want, and then time saves
itself. 

backward : không thực hiện được

01:59
Here's what I mean. I recently did a time diary project looking at 1,001 days in the lives of extremely busy women. They had demanding jobs, sometimes their own businesses, kids to care for, maybe parents to care for, community commitments -- busy, busy people. I had them keep track of their time for a week so I could add up how much they worked and slept, and I interviewed them about their strategies, for my book. 

02:22
One of the women whose time log I studied goes out on a Wednesday night for something. She comes home to find that her water heater has broken, and there is now water all over her basement. If you've ever had anything like this happen to you, you know it is a hugely damaging, frightening, sopping mess. So she's dealing with the immediate aftermath that night, next day she's got plumbers coming in, day after that, professional cleaning crew dealing with the ruined carpet. All this is being recorded on her time log. Winds up taking seven hours of her week. Seven hours. That's like finding an extra hour in the day. 

log: gỗ

hugely dam

02:57
But I'm sure if you had asked her at the start of the week, "Could you find seven hours to train for a triathlon?" "Could you find seven hours to mentor seven worthy people?" I'm sure she would've said what most of us would've said, which is, "No -- can't you see how busy I am?" Yet when she had to find seven hours because there is water all over her basement, she found seven hours. And what this shows us is that time is highly elastic. We cannot make more time, but time will stretch to accommodate what we choose to put into it. 

03:34
And so the key to time management is treating our priorities as the equivalent of that broken water heater. To get at this, I like to use language from one of the busiest people I ever interviewed. By busy, I mean she was running a small business with 12 people on the payroll, she had six children in her spare time. I was getting in touch with her to set up an interview on how she "had it all" -- that phrase. I remember it was a Thursday morning, and she was not available to speak with me. Of course, right? 

04:05
But the reason she was unavailable to speak with me is that she was out for a hike, because it was a beautiful spring morning, and she wanted to go for a hike. So of course this makes me even more intrigued, and when I finally do catch up with her, she explains it like this. She says, "Listen Laura, everything I do, every minute I spend, is my choice." And rather than say, "I don't have time to do x, y or z," she'd say, "I don't do x, y or z because it's not a priority." "I don't have time," often means "It's not a priority." If you think about it, that's really more accurate language. I could tell you I don't have time to dust my blinds, but that's not true. If you offered to pay me $100,000 to dust my blinds, I would get to it pretty quickly. 

04:52
(Laughter) 

04:53
Since that is not going to happen, I can acknowledge this is not a matter of lacking time; it's that I don't want to do it. Using this language reminds us that time is a choice. And granted, there may be horrible consequences for making different choices, I will give you that. But we are smart people, and certainly over the long run, we have the power to fill our lives with the things that deserve to be there. 

05:17
So how do we do that? How do we treat our priorities as the equivalent of that broken water heater? 

05:24
Well, first we need to figure out what they are. I want to give you two strategies for thinking about this. The first, on the professional side: I'm sure many people coming up to the end of the year are giving or getting annual performance reviews. You look back over your successes over the year, your "opportunities for growth." And this serves its purpose, but I find it's more effective to do this looking forward. So I want you to pretend it's the end of next year. You're giving yourself a performance review, and it has been an absolutely amazing year for you professionally. What three to five things did you do that made it so amazing? So you can write next year's performance review now.

Fi*************:

5:55 Write Next year's review
What 3-5 things would make it a great year for you professionally?

Ks****************:

I dont have time to watch this.

Ta**:

"Do what you can, with what you have, where you are'" - Theodore Roosevelt

Le***********:

F in chat for all the people that didn't have enough time to watch this.

le********:

I just realized that if I stopped exercising, it would free up like 10 hours a week to do other things!

Di***************:

i think this approach is too simplistic. having x free hours and being able to enjoy them are different things. when you are physically and psychologically exhausted u cannot do everything u have time to because u are inefficient and u just don't feel like it

Ga**:

"they found that people claiming 75-plus-hour work weeks were off by about 25 hours" are you talking about me?

Ra******:

" if u work more than 60 hours a week , r u sure? "

Ra*******:

Everything she told was common sense.

To***********:

“start deleting emails”
Is she living in 2009?

go*****************:

How to gain control of your free time: Stop watching Ted.

Th***************:

i could listen to her talk for hours...

El***********:

she never said "schedule every hour full of work".
she said "you have time for the things you prioritize."
maybe you prioritize watching a movie every night to recharge. then do that and don't feel bad about it. that's your priority.

Je******:

How to gain control of your free time : Stop scrolling through the comment section

물고*:

Good talk, I agree with her. First step is to stop living for work.

La**********:

We are so obsessed with time just like someone already said in the comments. But on the other hand we will always find time for the things that truly matter to us and that's what Laura Vanderkam says in her talk.
I used to rush myself on the bike to school and I love cycling.. but I wanted to be there as fast as possible so that I'd have more time to study. Yet every time I would rush through, I'd be stopped at the red lights and the slower cyclers would catch up with me, making me feel frustrated with the time I was wasting waiting at the red lights. All I was left with was more sweat, frustration and muscle pain. So I decided this was not going to do it. Now I cycle every morning to school at a slow pace enjoying the nature: the rain, the sunshine, the wind, the smells of life, everything, listening to the city or the birds. I even have time to stop if I see a cat and try to give it some snacks. I arrive at school feeling relaxed and ready for the day. It's my favorite thing to do now.
Making a priority list will make your life better. Especially the relationships and self categories. Taking time to just be present in the moment and live. Ignore the smartphone and technology as long as possible and talk to your loved ones instead.
Or instead of procrastinating by scrolling through Facebook, watch a TED talk. You won't feel like you've wasted your time after that.
Thanks for the inspiring talk. I'm getting back to work now. Time to review my priority list.

Gu**************:

step one : watch videos in x 1.25 speed

Im************:

menciona aqui abajo una youtuber guapa

Ve******:

Who is sending these family holiday letters ? I never heard of such a thing. It sounds like offline facebook.

Zf****:

a bit of an oversimplification. there's hours needed to spend on recovery and transition that eats away from the apparent free hour total

Na*:

"I don't have time = it is not a priority."
"Time is Elastic"
"Time is a choice"
Totally agreed.
Thank you so much for the talk.

Na*****:

Summary.
Set the right priorities and time will follow.

Write next year's review (by answering these questions):
1. What 3-5 things would make it a great year for you professionaly?
2. What 3-5 things would make it a great year for you personally?

Si**********:

This Video Have 11 minutes And 54 Seconds Duration. In That Time Span I Can Wash My Face, Brush My Teeth, Prepare My Bed And Get Ready To Sleep. Now I'm Late. Goodnight. Bye.

Na**********:

2020
For me
Quarantine = wasting time

Ja******:

Step one: Don't have free time

Ma**:

step one: start watching Youtube at 1.5 - 1.75 speed eventually, you will have time for other things ;)

Ag*********:

"Time management is a misnomer. The key in managing time is managing ourselves"

Cr*********:

I love to procastinate with these TED talks :D

Fo*************:

-How to find free time?
-Simply stop reading comments and exit from YouTube )

꾼*:

I really want to talk in English. I'm Korean. when I watch news with my family, I know korean people don't want to talk with American cause of English! But I'm different. In want to talk in English with American. So I always watch ted at morning.

Sa**************:

I don't have time = It's not your priority.

Ha*********:

Save time: stop choosing to have so damn many kids.

Vi*********:

Humans are so obsessed with time.

똥*:

Teacher : why didn't u finish ur hw?

Me : I didn't have enough time, I was busy


Teacher : youtube dot com... how.. to.. gain... control... of... your.. free... time... ok watch this

Ba****:

"You say you're working more than 60 hours, well are you sure?"

Rockstar Games: Hold my beer!

kt****:

What an inspiring speech! I wish I spent time in a more effective and efficient way instead of just puttering around the house. I am about to give it a try! Wish me luck!

Le*********:

"I want my life to change but I (!) don't wanna change." - basically.

Ca*******:

Well, of COURSE we carve out time to deal with emergency situations, like broken water heaters. But that doesn't mean that the time we were forced to spend on those emergencies didn't create multiple problems and extra stress when our other time obligations are given short shrift. I think most people know, deep down, how they could shift their time priorities if they really wanted to--vegging out with YouTube, Reddit, Facebook; binging Netflix; hours of gaming, etc. etc. etc. But the example of shifting gears for an emergency isn't the most useful example.
