Maximize Productivity With These Time Management Tools | Dr. Cal Newport & Dr. Andrew Huberman

[@JerradDennis-y8u]

I’ve been trying to implement time blocking, and I found that using a new tab extension like Astirna has really helped me stay organized and on track with my tasks.

[@Hhu-e2j]

I really love how humble huberman is, like approving the new information with a big smile and saying “i think imma try you method” 0:57 it’s like saying in short “ i really learned a new thing which’s wholesome

Wonder how long Google will allow this. Because I read this summary and didn’t bother to watch the rest of the video. You days are numbered Harpa.

[@brunodangelo1146]

I block my number time AND use to-do lists. I block my work time, so I can guarantee an ammount of hours of work. I also indicate for each block what I'm going to be working on. Then for each type of work I have a to-do list. So when the time comes, I look at it and tackle as many items in the list as I can. It also allows me to pick tasks depending on how time demanding they are and how I'm feeling at that point. If I feel like I can tackle one big demanding task, I go for it. If not I pick a lot of smaller and easier things that equally need to get done.

[@sarajane569]

[@iamabigailbarnes]

[@EcomCarl]

Cal's approach to productivity offers a refreshing perspective on time management and efficiency! ⏰ Structuring your day with fixed schedules rather than endless to-do lists can lead to better focus and work-life balance. Incorporating exercise and prioritizing sleep are also crucial elements for optimal cognitive function and productivity.

[@jmm803]

Last part of the video really resonated with me, looking at the long term of what you’ve accomplished vs just today.

By YouSum Live

[@ShyamkrishnanNair]

I love this approach! Time blocking really helps me focus on my most important tasks instead of getting distracted by endless to-do lists. I try to structure my days too, but I always struggle with sticking to it. It’s so true that focusing on the long game-like committing to deep work most days-makes a huge difference. Honestly, I feel the same way about sleep. Insomnia can definitely throw off productivity, but as they say, slow and steady wins the race! The Sense of Humor Improvement Program might help us keep that balance in check, too. Keep adapting, and stay consistent!

[@haveagobro436]

Looking forward to the insomnia podcast. I’ve learned so much on that subject already but need to keep at it. Just learned the word adenosine today. Maybe I missed it with you talking about why one should wait 45 minutes before coffee (I know you just put out an episode on coffee, haven’t watched yet) but I couldn’t stick with waiting for 45 minutes before not knowing a good reason to do that. I will try it again tomorrow and will look into the coffee episode soon, one thing at a time. Wake up, walk the dogs and then have coffee 45 minutes after I wake.❤Love all you do❤btw this clip was great, I often listened to full videos when I am gardening,sometimes walking…love the clips❤

Talk to a middle income guy who has 5+ Kids and a high stress job! That would be a cool conversation about time management and stress. Just like a lot of science out there, these people have unique easy jobs, are successful, or don't have many children. Many of these people are not the average folks. Sure the theories and concepts are interesting...but these are all within perfect environments. An environment where they can focus on themselves and their needs without worrying about too many other things. Just not reality. It's why science is also changing.

I struggle with time blocking because I work in a retail showroom with walk ins being our opportunity to sell. We have to fit our tasks in without knowing when someone will come in or how often.

[@elijah-rw3qb]

I have a question : Does that make you closed off from family or friends the schedule blocks for your day? Having those time slot?

[@IAmDavidWhipple]

That’s right. You say no even to your closest. It’s sacred time with zero distractions.

[@razzendahcuben]

Key points: -Cal Newport is a time blocker. He gives his time a job. -He stops working at 5:30 PM each day, usually. -He works off of a fixed schedule, and everything else must respect that. Reminds me of the jar analogy: everything else must fit around the rocks. -He aims for 90 min of deep work every week day, even in his busiest days. In his less busy seasons (e.g., summer when he's not teaching) then he fills his day with deep work. -He works out for ~45 min before dinner. -He has insomnia (unable to fall asleep). -He views productivity over large periods of time: months, not days. This reduces stress bc it doesn't put so much pressure on every single day. No one day should be critical to your goals. As long as he's moving toward his long-term goals month over month, he's happy. -He doesn't have Elon Musk levels of energy. He is adaptive. He wants a productivity system that works in the real world, with distractions and challenges, not in the ideal world.

Yes. At first I was like….”oh that’s an interesting way to block off your day.” And then I thought about it for 30 seconds and was like…”wait, it’s the same thing. You’re just saying it differently.”

[@NoUserNamesLeft001]

Well I think there is a little more too it (though I hear your point). I have heard this kind of philosophy a lot before in various time management conversations. The difference is from to do list to schedule (note, a to do list is not a schedule). Instead of having a quota of items, you have a quota of time. A quota of time is very easy to be successful, a quota of tasks is much more likely to be a failure, which can burn you out.

💯% a lot of exercise science I’ve seen lately indicates that intense work out close to bed time can negatively affect sleep. I’ve experienced it as well. Late morning to late afternoon seems to be the optimal work out window if you can swing it.

[@daniellecorenchuk1772]

That's a really interesting point, although he does mention that it's not so bad for him anymore. Perhaps it was just that body regulation phase that was keeping him more awake. Based on what I know about him and his previous books, I'm sort of leaning towards the idea that he stays in an Alpha State and probably should have done more relaxation and meditation prior to bedtime.

I think the biggest problem is for people to get started, and then stay consistent - to have that kind of discipline ... I think key to doing that is very tiny amounts of time and slowly making it a habit by trying to do some thing like for one minute, every day, for 30 minutes, and very slowly increase that time; once we are adults, it is extremely difficult to change habits - I based this upon teaching dance for 19 years and dancing for 24 years. Just personal experience and some thing my math professor/ businessman student taught me.
