How to multiply your time? Buy a flip phone...stay off social media.

[mughalgarden]

Summary:
How we choose to spend our time is as much logical as emotional
One dimensional thinking solution: Efficiency — do your to-do list faster
Two dimensional thinking solution: Prioritization — (on the axes of importance and urgency)
Three dimensional: “Significance” — Urgency how soon does it matter; importance — how much does it matter; significance — how long does it matter
You multiply your time by giving yourself the emotional permission to spend time on things today that will give you more time tomorrow
The significance calculation changes everything
Focus Funnel: Eliminate, automate, delegate, — me (now=concentrate/ later=procrastinate on purpose)

“There is no such thing as time management, since time continues on whether you like it or not. There is only SELF management.”

Significance: finding a wealthy husband today to avoid working tomorrow....

I'm disappointed he didnt say "thank you for your time" in the end.

"You multiply your time by giving yourself the emotional permission to spend time on things TODAY that will give you more time TOMORROW." Rory Vaden
With your story it's true that everything could be delegated

[cienciabit]

Ha, ha! Since I procrastinated (I don't know if on purpose) I found and watched this interesting video.

[Bitachon]

*Automation is to your time as compound interest is to your money* - 10:52

This video was great, and the story about his own life was incredible.

Only thing missing from this construct is the dimension of sequence.

Doing things in the right order will naturally allow you to finish them in less time. You can look up the Tetris Effect which speaks to the groove your mind gets into.

There should also be a lot more talk in this field about switching to complementary activities which allow you to rest and regenerate your attention and energy.

After a long period of reading and note-taking, it may be more productive to spend some time making calls and speaking to people to regenerate our eyes and get charged up with energy, then retire to the peaceful solitude of reading again.

Trying to power through hours of the same activity will yield diminishing marginal returns.

We all have to establish a rhythm that will allow us to stay productive for long periods of time without fatigue, similar to how the standard song structure of can keep our attention without tiring us out.

If we scheduled our days similarly, we would get a lot more done while feeling a lot less depleted, because we would be riding our natural waves of momentum.

My applause for the lady in blue top at 18:14 who knows to respect others.
I also think that it needs courage to stand up alone for the things we liked ...👍👍😊

[alessandrotomich]

Ironic how he begins with an anecdote about how he doesn't want any children, then ends by quoting Genesis: "Be fruitful and multiply."
Different context, I know, but the irony remains.

[natashamenezes]

Rory, this is one of the most brilliant talks I've heard in a long time. Thank you for sharing your ideas. Wish you all the best in your future significant moments.

[vidwathraj]

Time can neither be created nor destroyed. But it can be spent wisely

[selenasison]

I've come to realize that accomplishing all your work, all your things ahead of time won't give you more time, because you'll always have new things to have to do with that "spare time". So yes, procrastinate, take a break, have some rest on purpose. We'll be happier when we choose the right things to spend our time on. Work can wait.

[swwqlhw]

I delegated someone else to watch this video, I didn't learn anything

[TigerlilyH]

The best thing I learnt from this is that when I get the urge to procrastinate I should ask myself "what can I do today so that I'll have more time tomorrow?" This should definitely be one of the mottos of life for a procrastinator!

My first TEDx Talk that put me on tears... Great sharing, the last words quoted from Bible was truly significant for me as I am a Christian. Never thought that the word "multiply" could be used on time.
