Es raro que me ponga a ver videos así de largos en Youtube, pero esta charla me atrapo desde el primer minuto: Randy Pausch Lecture: Time Management.

Tomé estas notas a finales de 2016. Las rescaté de mi blog en Tumblr.

Notes on Pausch’s time management lecture #

“The time famine” #

Bad time management = stress.

This is life advice. #

If you are not going to have fun… Then why?

On being successful… #

Being successful doesn’t make you manage your time well. Managing your time makes you successful.

About dreams… #

Dreams are the first step to accomplishment, let yourself dream.

Failing to plan is planning to fail… #

Plan each day, each week, each semester. You can always change your plan, but only once you have one.

On todo lists… #

Break down stuff in small steps. Take baby steps if you need to. Do the ugliest thing first.

About your inbox… #

It’s not your to-do list.

You need to know where you will be… #

You need to have a system that allows you to know where you will be next Thursday at 2 o’clock 

On making time… #

You don’t find the time. You make it. And you make it by not doing something else.

You defend what’s yours… #

Find your creative time and defend it. Spend it alone.

If you are a student… #

Make a fake class and always got to a specific place in the library. There exists a chance that you may actually study.

You think you have all the time in the world because you are single… #

And that’s the problem. You approach it like you have all the time in the world.

Procrastination… #

The thief of time.

If you have no deadline… #

Make a real deadline and act like it’s real.

Do yourself a favor… #

Kill your T.V.

You need to sleep… #

Please don’t be sleep deprived.

If you haven’t got time to do it right… #

Then you don’t have time to do it wrong.

The truth about time… #

It’s the only thing we have.
