The Philosophy of Time Management | Brad Aeon | TEDxConcordia

You are going to die eventually. Will you fill whatever lifetime you have left with so-called time management techniques and shortcuts? Or will you see time management as a way to infuse your life with meaning and purpose?

[christianshroyer]

"When it comes to time, we can either make excuses or sacrifices but only one of them will allow you to live a meaningful life." Wow 👏

[boodai]

His relaxed speed of talk really reflects his concept

[marinac.ll.]

I’m impressed about the approach this man took. When we talk about time management there’s usually the ‘tips to be more efficient’. But that’s not the point of time management. It’s not about being more efficient and producte, which will lead to stress and overworking, but embracing our freedom to choose what we want to do with our time, being able to understand that it is limited and that it is up to our own to judge where we want to spend it.

I am truly impressed. Never knew time had so much to do with philosophy. Well, philosophy is always there to question whether what we are doing is really what’s good for us.

I find too many Ted talks to be either too obvious or just motivational nonsense, but this one was surprisingly meaningful and eye-opening for me. I'm surprised it doesn't have more views.

I watched this ted talk when I was 18 back in 2019 and I didn't really catch the concept of it but I used it to write an essay about TIME but now 2021, I'm able to grasp most of what his saying because of the state I am in my life, it's always the simplest thing that pass our head but I have to admit he's right money isn't time. Time is Life and how you spend your time is actually how you spend your Life.



Thanks for that

[jhaksaelarmas]

This Ted talks is one of the most oye opening for me.
I used to manage my time to achieve my goals, but recently I've been asking to myself " is this the way how I actually want to spend my time?"

Now thanks to this video I have my answer.

I've missed the most important thing
I've spent most of my time to get to my goals instead of hanging out more with my friends, my family and my girlfrien or more simple giving my time to help others people.

I've forgotten the people around me.
That's so sad.
Now I'm aware of this and I can change .
I hope you'll do the same my friend

[Niena]

Time is a concept that a lot of people have always think about, either having time or not having time. This talk is changing the way I think about managing things in my life especially the part about giving excuses. Thank you

[toluomoyeni]

This is by far the best TED talk I’ve ever watched. I doubt that I’d be interested in anyone else’s thoughts on the concept of time after watching this. I don’t want them to dilute the purity of this wisdom. Wow!

[marinac.ll.]

Ironically, the next suggested video is a TED talk about ‘How to multiply your time’

[rohitmitruka]

Really a profound and thought-provoking speech, while we all seek for shortcut ways, tips and tricks to cut down time usage, this guy has made me stop for a moment and really think and grasp what time actually is.
Time is not money, time is life.

[ocubex]

This is by far the best talk I've heard on time management.

[shivammonga]

Best thing about his speech is that he didn't impose his answers, tips & tricks on the audience, he just gave them the right questions to ask themselves!

[jryce]

10:22 "Time management is not just about you, it's about all of us"

What defines a good use of our time?
Leaving any positive impact (as it's really fulfilling to balance living for ourselves and for others)

[jasminenicoleellis]

This TEDtalk was a real mind-bender 😂😭 but it was a big eye opener that I needed to hear. Every time he said things like "do you really not have time or are you just making excuses, " for me they were all true. I do make excuses and always say i dont have time when I genuinely do. Before watching this video, i did believe time is money but now i realize time is not money, time is life

[romicaraina]

Very deep and profound! Makes us question the common phrase"I dont have time". Thanks a lot for your insight on Time Management.

[shabbirahmad]

It was mind blowing to hear about time is not money But its life.
This part was life changing moment for me
"either you make excuses or sacrifices, only one of them will allow you to choose meaningful life"

[karmbrar]

I think that life was a lot simpler back in our grand parents age. They relied on simple things to live life and we just complicated it with too many things on our plate. We can be happy and enjoy our time on this planet, and the key is to KEEP IT SIMPLE.

[lilith]

I like this TED talk, thanks a lot.

I study in college, and I don't know how do I manage my time, my schedule is full, and I am so tired of it.

Usually I want to ask myself: What's the next thing to do?

But actually what really matters is: What is the next meaningful thing to do?

If I prefer to stay at home to do some relaxing activities, why don't I go outside and hang out with people?

If I really have courage, what can I do for change?

This is an important question the talker gave me: If you think time is precious, then do something really precious, because your time is precious.

[SarcolKent]

Amazing talk, more people needs to hear the this talk and understand the Philosophy of Time 💯

[waalex]

Even though it doesn't answer how to manage time, it's a beautiful perspective in reason time being something of what you live for (of your best interests) and not money/etc.
