    Do Less Well... DO THE WORK - Day 500

    enDecember 11, 2017

    Podcast Summary

    • The importance of doing things wellRushing tasks and cutting corners can lead to frustration and poor results. Allocate enough time to do things thoroughly and to the best of your abilities for better outcomes and a more fulfilling experience.

      Striving for "done" instead of "done well" can lead to frustration and a sense of mental loss, even if the task is technically completed. It's important to allocate enough time to do things thoroughly and to the best of our abilities, rather than rushing and cutting corners. This not only leads to better results, but also a more fulfilling and enjoyable experience. By recognizing the importance of doing things well and breaking down larger projects into manageable tasks, we can avoid the frustration of a "frustrating done" and instead focus on progress and growth.

    • Focus on doing things well rather than just getting them doneStrive for quality over quantity to create meaningful outcomes, prioritize time to ensure capacity for doing things right, and avoid cutting corners to produce more results.

      It's important to focus on doing things well rather than just getting them done. Rushing through tasks to meet deadlines or check items off a to-do list can lead to shallow results that may not meet your standards or those of others. This can negatively impact your work and relationships. Therefore, it's crucial to evaluate your schedule and prioritize your time to ensure you have the capacity to do things right. It's not about striving for perfection, but rather ensuring that the final results meet your standards and the expectations of those who will use or be affected by your work. If you find that you're cutting corners to produce more results, it may be necessary to do less to allow yourself the time to do things better. Overall, it's essential to strive for quality over quantity to create meaningful and impactful outcomes.

    Oliver Burkeman is the author of The New York Times best-seller Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals. In this episode, Oliver delves into the pervasive idea that time can be mastered, exploring whether maximizing productivity is an attainable goal or a perpetual trap. He discusses the allure of attempting to control time—and, therefore, the future—and shares his personal journey of experimenting with diverse time management techniques that failed to deliver the emotional satisfaction he sought. Ultimately, they explore the mismatch between being a finite human and existing in a world of infinite possibilities and how all of these concepts intertwine with finding a sense of purpose and meaning. Additionally, Oliver shares insights from his book on productivity, using our time wisely, and embracing our finitude to live a more fulfilling life.

    We discuss:

    • Oliver’s experience that led him to write the book Four Thousand Weeks [3:15];
    • Human’s relationship with time and the struggle with the finite nature of time [7:15];
    • How productivity can be a trap [11:00];
    • The fallacy that being more efficient will open up more time and bring a feeling of control [16:45];
    • The paradoxical nature of trying too hard to be present in the current moment [22:45];
    • The value of relationships in meaningful experiences and fulfillment, and how time gets its value from being shared [26:45];
    • The importance of time synchronicity [36:00];
    • Identifying your biggest priorities and the paradox of wanting to do more than you have time for [41:00];
    • Oliver’s moment of clarity in 2014 [47:15];
    • The role of a sense of purpose in fulfillment [50:15];
    • Reconciling the finite nature of time and letting go of trying to master your time [59:00];
    • Why we tend to have a future-focused attitude and how to combat that with atelic activities [1:05:45];
    • The power of shifting your perspective about time and your experiences [1:12:45];
    • How to operationalize the three principles for the dilemma of finite time [1:20:15];
    • Harnessing the power of patience in the face of a problem or experience [1:28:00];
    • The value of incrementalism for being productive [1:34:15];
    • Embracing your finitude with curiosity [1:38:00];
    • Acting on an idea in the moment rather than letting the idea be the obstacle [1:41:15]; and
    • More.

    Ep. 30: The False Choice: Move Fast or Think Deeply

    There is a false dichotomy between thinking deeply and moving fast. We are often presented with these as mutually exclusive choices and both have real advantages. But there is a way to do both at the same time--and it is a life changing insight (at least, it was for me).

    How to spend your time more wisely, with Cassie Holmes, PhD
    When you feel time-poor, endless hours of free time might sound like the ultimate luxury. But psychologists’ research suggests that it’s not simply the amount of time that you have, but how you spend it, that determines your happiness. Cassie Holmes, PhD, discusses whether there’s an ideal amount of free time, how to increase your sense of “time affluence” and how tracking your time can help you live a happier life.
