Make time: Why we spend our most productive time on the wrong things (Google Cloud Next '17)

Time management is hard, and most of us struggle. We procrastinate; we overcommit; we underestimate how long things take; we spend too much time in meetings, and crucially we don’t spend enough time on our health, relationships, or ‘real work’. It sounds bleak, but somehow, some people seem to manage much better than others! In this video, Ian Leader and Jacob Bank talk about the behavioral psychology that underlies these mistakes and share some techniques to harness Gmail and Google Calendar to make the most of your time.

These are great initiatives! Do you know how to setup that feature to block focus time and put a maximum amount of time on your weekly meetings?

Great talk, I've been suffering the reign of a pointy haired email monster boss for about a year now. I will be sharing this! Abuse by email

I admire your courage. I used to think I was one of the best speakers in the world and i could talk my way around anything.  To get up there and talk about such a new product so fluently with a large vocabulary and to consostantly deliver accurate facts without having an obvious script memorize shows that you not only can get up and speak, but you care about your job and pour your heart into it. Google has a golden egg with you. I hope they realize it.

the solution does not fit the problem defined, this was a case of over premise and under deliver, and the actually implemented is negligible.
