The Philosophy of Time Management | Brad Aeon | TEDxConcordia

[@christianshroyer7233]

"When it comes to time, we can either make excuses or sacrifices but only one of them will allow you to live a meaningful life." Wow 👏

[@PerfectByClip]

Jesus is the one that gives endless time, well endless life.

[@cassandro9445]

❤

[@boodai88]

His relaxed speed of talk really reflects his concept

[@mercylopez8171]

Cheers for this, I have been researching "what are the measurable objectives?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Ponlijah Memorable Preponderance - (do a search on google ) ? It is an awesome one off product for discovering how to maximize your life using a simple goal setting strategy minus the normal expense. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my co-worker got excellent success with it.

[@danielcarrillo8317]

Yes they're bigger than Life

[@nandaagee]

YES!

[@louisgianfrancesco]

I need to work on my rate of speech. I feel like if I talk too slow I'm wasting peoples time and could speak faster. Even though when I do, I stutter and feel embarrassed.

[@kuuuumar]

@@mercylopez8171 gggggggggg

[@marinac.ll.4840]

I’m impressed about the approach this man took. When we talk about time management there’s usually the ‘tips to be more efficient’. But that’s not the point of time management. It’s not about being more efficient and producte, which will lead to stress and overworking, but embracing our freedom to choose what we want to do with our time, being able to understand that it is limited and that it is up to our own to judge where we want to spend it. I am truly impressed. Never knew time had so much to do with philosophy. Well, philosophy is always there to question whether what we are doing is really what’s good for us.

[@KolodziejczykKuba]

Great comment. Came here for thoughs just like that.

[@socksamazingchannel]

Yeah I came here for tips and left with thoughts of "what really matters to me"? Lmfao

[@er1ka888]

EXACTLY, I enjoy reading and I was like "mabye I could make this a peaceful hobby my whole life" and I was like "is that productive though?" then I ignored the thought, I still read. Time management does not mean productive, and I was willing to take hobbies in my life and make one of those reading, I thought on the thought. Now I'm here and I think this is just like a confirmation, time management does NOT have to be work, and everything I do for fun does NOT HAVE TO BE PRODUCTIVE! Beautiful message, your comment helped me get more of a grasp on this talk.

[@onethingaboutstyle]

This is by far the best TED talk I’ve ever watched. I doubt that I’d be interested in anyone else’s thoughts on the concept of time after watching this. I don’t want them to dilute the purity of this wisdom. Wow!

[@gnuPirate]

Don't be silly. Not being interested in anyone else's thoughts on the concept of time is the complete opposite of what he spoke about in the video and encouraged you to do. Also, being interested in the thoughts of many philosophers and people is how he came up he found these thoughts worth sharing in the first place.

[@jhaksaelarmas9639]

This Ted talks is one of the most oye opening for me. I used to manage my time to achieve my goals, but recently I've been asking to myself " is this the way how I actually want to spend my time?" Now thanks to this video I have my answer. I've missed the most important thing I've spent most of my time to get to my goals instead of hanging out more with my friends, my family and my girlfrien or more simple giving my time to help others people. I've forgotten the people around me. That's so sad. Now I'm aware of this and I can change . I hope you'll do the same my friend

[@shivammonga9141]

Best thing about his speech is that he didn't impose his answers, tips & tricks on the audience, he just gave them the right questions to ask themselves!

[@lampyrisnoctiluca9904]

Yes. It started the introspection that ended up with me returning back to school at the age of 31. 🤓I will also write that book. I realized that I do have the time. I am working on the outline right now. Nanowrimo starts in a week, I will participate.

[@bigscott175]

I watched this ted talk when I was 18 back in 2019 and I didn't really catch the concept of it but I used it to write an essay about TIME but now 2021, I'm able to grasp most of what his saying because of the state I am in my life, it's always the simplest thing that pass our head but I have to admit he's right money isn't time. Time is Life and how you spend your time is actually how you spend your Life. Thanks for that

[@movli8174]

Time is money ❌ TIME is LIFE ✔️

[@MarieannZeccnelli]

There's a book called Hidden Time Wealth, and it talks about how using some secret techniques, you can overcome procrastination and accomplish anything in life. It's not just a bunch of empty promises; it's the real deal.

[@akshaynair910]

There is no such book.

[@jryce]

10:22 "Time management is not just about you, it's about all of us" What defines a good use of our time? Leaving any positive impact (as it's really fulfilling to balance living for ourselves and for others)

[@olivtrees8749]

I find too many Ted talks to be either too obvious or just motivational nonsense, but this one was surprisingly meaningful and eye-opening for me. I'm surprised it doesn't have more views.

[@JG-no4qr]

At first, I thought the beginning was a bit dull so I told myself “here we go again” 🙄, I didn’t know how impactful it was actually going to be!!!

[@PurpleOtakuBB]

Me too. This literally made me want to learn more about philosophy. Every words that left his mouth was eye opening, I feel really enlightened.

[@yofromtimemasterfreedom1476]

I loved that video !! I just shared it on my blog with a few thoughts… Despite the fact that I use hypnotherapy on this topic daily (which is already a pretty deep and progressive way of fixing time-management issues), I received a great wake-up call / slap in the face from this video… It is much like what Jean-Paul Sartre says in his book “Existentialism Is a Humanism” : you are free to exist the way you want because no essence defines you. Which might be daunting if we are escaping our responsibility to “play our life the right way” (in the words of JPS), but if we fully accept that we can achieve anything we want, and take the control of our time, that becomes the most liberating thought ever. Thanks and kudos to you, my kind sir. Yo (yes it's my name, I mean, kinda :D)

[@parirala4830]

People don't have time to watch it.

[@jewelofdasouth96]

We find all of the gems. Make sure u share them. 💕

[@barleyqueensarangani4655]

"We have to learn how to manage our time well and meaningfully because we will all die." This made me realize to be mindful and careful how i make use of my time. To create a lasting nd meaningful impact to God and humanity are my ultimate goals.🙏❤️God bless us all in our efforts to overcome our weakness when it comes to time management. In Christ, I can make it.Amen🙏🥰

[@Niena97]

Time is a concept that a lot of people have always think about, either having time or not having time. This talk is changing the way I think about managing things in my life especially the part about giving excuses. Thank you

[@ocubex]

This is by far the best talk I've heard on time management.

[@emilya218]

It might be the best I've heard to date on any possible topic in the 1000s of ted talks and such that I have watched. Watch this! Absorb! This is everything.. ignore the sound quality in the beginning. Don't cheat yourself out of this!

[@darkdoom907]

2:29 "...time management books are written by consultants, not philosphers..." I really like this

[@FirezAper46]

Watch this on 2x speed to save time.

[@USOFROMDATAC]

😂😂

[@SANJUFVRoffl]

Wtf

[@EnigmaQueen]

1.25x is good, although it gives me anxiety 😅

[@pezzodicento]

Underrated comment

[@nvm7191]

🤣🤣🤣 had to take some time out to laugh @ that

[@rohitmitruka]

Really a profound and thought-provoking speech, while we all seek for shortcut ways, tips and tricks to cut down time usage, this guy has made me stop for a moment and really think and grasp what time actually is. Time is not money, time is life.

[@brendapereira6114]

at the beginning I was a little bit bothered by his slow-paced way of speaking, but quickly I realized that this is just an evidence of his approach to life and time management, and I agree with it 100%

[@SashaFujiwara]

YES! I always had problems with modern perception of "time management". Your life isn't only money and having a lot of money doesn't equal having a good life My only tips on that topic that i find useful is to try to get rid of things that don't serve you and don't make you happy and make every little thing you do daily (like brushing teeth, making coffee, getting to work etc) enjoyable or replace it with an enjoyable option

[@jasminenicoleellis]

This TEDtalk was a real mind-bender 😂😭 but it was a big eye opener that I needed to hear. Every time he said things like "do you really not have time or are you just making excuses," for me they were all true. I do make excuses and always say i dont have time when I genuinely do. Before watching this video, i did believe time is money but now i realize time is not money, time is life

[@KKaraSimpalla]

The way Hidden Time Wealth dives into the concept of productivity is mind-blowing. Hidden Time Wealth tips are pure gold, and I wish more people knew about them.

[@shabbirahmad5907]

It was mind blowing to hear about time is not money But its life. This part was life changing moment for me "either you make excuses or sacrifices, only one of them will allow you to choose meaningful life"

[@lilith4258]

I like this TED talk, thanks a lot. I study in college, and I don't know how do I manage my time, my schedule is full, and I am so tired of it. Usually I want to ask myself: What's the next thing to do? But actually what really matters is: What is the next meaningful thing to do? If I prefer to stay at home to do some relaxing activities, why don't I go outside and hang out with people? If I really have courage, what can I do for change? This is an important question the talker gave me: If you think time is precious, then do something really precious, because your time is precious.

[@CassiePralona]

Hidden Time Wealth blew my mind. I’ve shared it with friends, and they’re all amazed at how much more productive they've become.

[@Rahul_Rao_001]

I'm surprised to see it has very less views, this thing is literally Gold . People just did'nt seem to realise that.

[@marinac.ll.4840]

Ironically, the next suggested video is a TED talk about ‘How to multiply your time’

[@oliverchoreno6412]

Hahahahahahahahaa still is

[@teacherdenise5502]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@randeepsingh3516]

Lol it's still there

[@theotherway1639]

The small book "30 Days to Overcome Procrastination" by Corin Devaso is a nice book to have on hand. It uses a mindfulness and inquiry approach.

[@nandaagee]

Still is

[@BowesBolzen]

Hidden Time Wealth is so unique. I can’t believe I hadn’t heard about it sooner. It’s amazing how life-changing this can be for anyone battling procrastination.

[@BardeBarnevle]

Discovering Hidden Time Wealth has been one of the best things I've done for my productivity. It feels like I’ve finally cracked the code to overcoming procrastination.

[@karmbrar2689]

I think that life was a lot simpler back in our grand parents age. They relied on simple things to live life and we just complicated it with too many things on our plate. We can be happy and enjoy our time on this planet, and the key is to KEEP IT SIMPLE.

[@LehlogonoloLehlogonolo-i4d]

What I thought over the years. Spending time around fire singing and laughing with your family compared to now worrying about money and assignments

[@IliseWastae]

I've been experimenting with Hidden Time Wealth, and wow, the results speak for themselves. It's a game changer for anyone struggling with procrastination.

[@tasneem4342]

شعرت بالسعادة لاني مسلمة اعلم لما عليّ أن ادير وقتي و استغله و نعم الوقت لا يساوي المال...لا احتاج الي فلاسفه ..كل الامور لدي واضحه كالشمس الحمدلله كثيرا علي نعمة الاسلام ❤

[@Mr.hooopla]

Alhamdo Lillah

[@miyawrentz7331]

Thank you time management is something I really struggle with, particularly with the field I am in and this was very helpful! Definitely on point having to make sacrifices and setting boundaries. I agree a lot of people associate making money with time which hurts my heart and creates an unhealthy work environment and people miss the true meaning behind doing something. Chasing money you will never be happy or satisfied.

[@waalex11]

Even though it doesn't answer how to manage time, it's a beautiful perspective in reason time being something of what you live for (of your best interests) and not money/etc.

[@PurpleOtakuBB]

I've always been bad with time management especially when my obligations and works starts to add up. I gave up in the way, I was procrastinating and I tried to make a lot of excuses saying I don't have time and we're gonna die anyways so why bother?But I know that wasn't, and always isn't the case. I had to break away from these excuses and free myself to use the time I have. At first, I was about to watch tips about how to "effectively" manage time, but I paused when I saw this and now it changed my whole view regarding time management. Thank you so much, for sharing this. ☺️

[@TeofimoTeofimo-s3q]

This was a powerful reminder about living intentionally. I've incorporated Astirna New Tab into my routine, and it's really helped me manage my tasks better.

[@TatianiaBuntine]

The concept of Hidden Time Wealth blew my mind. It’s like finding a cheat code for productivity and defeating procrastination.

[@OskrrrOskrrr-w6l]

This talk really made me rethink how I manage my time. I've been using Astirna New Tab lately and it helps me stay organized and focused throughout the day.

[@jryce]

not relying on others for the answers but rather for the insight, to then apply it and better understand the process mindset, thinking for ourselves, asking questions and realizing things ourselves

[@NicolaGhaemmaghami-s2i]

Such a thought-provoking discussion on time. I've found that using tools like Astirna New Tab has made a real difference in how I prioritize my tasks.

[@mansoorjavaid9065]

A very thought provoking speech, highlighting the misconceptions about time and or behavior to avoid taking decisions of what to do with our time.

[@dr.manalfahham.2031]

I am doing search about philosophy of time , I have read many topics and some books , I liked the way he explained his straggle with time since childhood. Ted is a well deserved to be followed up ..

[@Switching_000]

The best video about time management ever this really really sinked in

[@n8sterling727]

This is a diamond amongst the Ted Talks, I agree with the OP, made me take a hard look inward.

[@viniciusdasilva5986]

My review about this speech: WE DO HAVE TIME, although we say that we don't. In the most part of the time, we make excuses, but we must think what better thing we have to do.

[@thatzintun4477]

After I listen this video, I realized that we can't management time. That is a really great talk show.

[@DF-do8sw]

Well said

[@rutsrakregey]

The way he talks and the concept he explained. I think he is a Stoic

[@kkasturri3390]

The talk remind us that Life is a one time gift given to us to live by managing time effectively. Thankyou sir

[@bobadiag]

One of the Best Ted talks.!!!

[@englishwithtaryar6044]

Time isn't money . The purpose and meaning of life is what we need! thanks Brad

[@ANEBOM]

My fave TED talk so far, great delivery, even greater message

[@mutongamasasa656]

Powerful stuff. This has opened another door for me in the world of time management

[@WisdomisPower-10inminute-dn5no]

I thought I was good, but your video just blew mine out of the water!

[@fattymuffin2182]

Why do we do anything if we're going to die? Because life is so precious. It's a gift. So use it.

[@PatiosIpswichSpecialists-ze9kb]

Your content has made a real impact on me.

[@SURAJPANDEY32665]

This men's head is brighter than my future 👏🏻

[@AlixFields]

That kinda emotional damage.

[@REDACTEDrose184]

This video deserves more views.

[@leanhnguyenngoc2131]

The speech changes my mindset about time management. Thank you for enlightening me and showing me an way to navigate myself and solve the roots of my problem about time management ^^

[@jasonus1854]

I JUST SHOW IT ....... MAN YOU ARE EXCELLENT

[@celanadimitrijevik4549]

Thank you! Time is my life and freedom. I'm impressed. Great talk!

[@chinonsodeborah8432]

This channel has never disappointed me❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ thank you sir.

[@arnabbhattacharya9193]

Absolutely superb way of explaining the concept of time management. Really worth watching the video more than once.

[@Dragon_Warrior7625]

I just realised that we have the exact same name....

[@billmorrigan386]

Great video. Great points. One of my favorite expressions of late is this: People who do nothing don't have time (albeit they might simulate hectic work and activity). Indeed with all the modern technology we have plenty of time for everything: reading fiction, studying college textbooks (not even available in non-online bookstores), working out, watching movies and series, texting, commenting, hanging out with friends, and even traveling around the world (if the budget allows). Another problem, not addressed in this video, is that some people get stuck in their immediate circle (usu. family) so much that they can hardly break free from it. For me that's intolerable. You may work 12 hours a day but being unable to break free during off-work hours is intolerable to me! To cut to the chase, the less you do and the less you work, the less time you have, otherwise you are just deluding yourself. Indeed, it's only our great-great grandparents who didn't have time, not us with all the modern technology and amenities! On top of that, spending time inefficiently and procrastinating are two great enemies permeating everything!

[@nathanquaglia752]

this is an amazing speech, mind opening for sure!

[@SarcolKent]

Amazing talk, more people needs to hear the this talk and understand the Philosophy of Time 💯

[@BipedHawkEye]

When it comes to time, we can either make excuses or sacrifices but only one of them will allow you to have a mewningful life. ✨🖋️

[@damoncheng3589]

Speech gives me inspiration about time , having consciousness about time will help me to separate it !good job , keep it up

[@sisteradmn]

So true that time is absolutely more valuable than money so I don't believe you can manage time because it will pass even if we do nothing or even if we somehow do all the things. So we shouldn't manage our time, we should manage our priorities. As professional project managers, we're taught to start with a fixed duration and deliverable, then reverse engineer the deliverable by allocating resources, while accounting for constraints and managing risk. That sounded like a LIFE PROJECT to me!! The end game is eternity with the Father. The middle game is my future on earth; and the now game is the financial freedom to live on purpose, with joy and without fear. Cheers to having our priorities straight!!

[@anything9276]

one of the best talks of all time

[@AEDEANART]

This is an incredible talk with a twist with the addition of philosophy

[@kiramackinnon7932]

this is my favourite ted talk i've ever listened to.

[@life__pro]

🙌🙌🙌 What a thought-provoking and inspiring TEDx talk on time management! Brad Aeon's insights on infusing our lives with meaning and purpose through effective temporal decision-making are truly valuable. 🤩👏

[@joehaqim1843]

Damn...Near the end part of this talk hits me hard. I was doing study group in college and then my mom calls (actually first day in college, first day living out of home ) . My quick action literally rejected my mom calls and told her in whatsapp,that I am busy and have no time. my apology afterwards seems ingenuine.

[@julienastrid]

I didn't want the talk to end. This didn't even seem like 12mins, it felt like he's been talking for an hour but I didn't mind. Every word was pure brilliance. When we lost our grandma in 2021, I began thinking of time as one of the most precious things in the world. Between work and family, I would "almost always" choose to spend my time with family. Work is replaceable, but lost time with the people I love, I can never get back.

[@JG-no4qr]

I cried at the end, thinking of all the time I’ve let slip by undervaluing it. Not spending quality time with friends and family.

[@christalbott450]

Watching this at only 75 percent of the full speed seems pretty great. :D "Paying them with time, paying them with your life".

[@fleurdepapaye9635]

The best talk about time! Time is life 👍

[@JayPatel-ds1xp]

Best session i have heard on time management till today. Thank You

[@nandaagee]

This sounded like a beautiful poem to me! 🧠

[@amoristamit555]

You opened my eyes Professor

[@nangwangjikmed5783]

best talk I have listened on time management

[@serra9503]

I really needed to hear this words right now. Thanks a lot team tedx.That was really important for me.

[@alexandrafisher3614]

It could have been one of the best videos I have watched. Thank you.

[@sumitvaise5452]

Sacrifice or make an excuse... you decide. Thanks for this motivational video.

[@dr.g.keerthi649]

Astounding speech on how to balance work and life with quotations from Seneca and Sartre

[@cecizdiaz]

Incredible... right to the issue... a new question on my mirror tomorrow morning:...Was this worth a day of my life?

[@leenasalahaldeen2260]

Am so happy that i found this in this time and i had the chance to watch it before end of the year💜💜

[@sridharchiluka]

Excellent speech about Time Management. Thank you 🙏

[@rajarsheegupta591]

Never looked at time management from this philosophical perspective. Thanks.

[@garra12]

Thank you Mr. Aeon, learned a lot.

[@JamesAzam]

Came here for a TED talk but got a whole sermon. Got me questioning my whole life.

[@adevariubire9236]

Thank you so much, you are very kind.

[@yoyashuyo3485]

The more time you invest in good things the more time with happiness you will get!

[@kabelojoymalaka8837]

This is the best informative video I ever watched about time management. I have learned that if we wanna manage our time meaningfully we should embrace philosophy.

[@lampyrisnoctiluca9904]

I am now asking myself about what do I value in life. I definitely value sleep. Most people around me don't. They see me as lazy because I do. I am wasting my time. What is so lazy about dreaming or not needing a coffee to function? It tastes bad and makes my hearth beat so fast. Next time they ask me, I will say that the life is best lived while awake. If they say that I will sleep when I die, I will ask them why they value their lives so little...

[@lampyrisnoctiluca9904]

Two months have passed since I wrote the previous comment. After watching this video, I was thinking about it for quite some time. My greatest regret in life was not continuing my studies after getting my bachelors degree. I was not able to do it at the time because of reasons I will not go into right now. Watching this video have started the train of introspection, then talking with people, and then I have decided to return back to school at the age of 31. I am now back here, as a graduate student. 😊 Better late than never. Classes have started two weeks ago. I am still excited about this whole thing.

[@dr.rutvishah3100]

Motivating and thought provoking talk, Truly remarkable.

[@RamharshYadav-vi2ne]

Great video. But I don't have time. I need to sleep so I can wakeup early. But I am saving it for later

[@VictoriaPickrellSCC]

I have always said you're trading your time for whatever hourly wage you're working for. And I refuse to sell my life for minimum wage! I have the worst time management skills of anyone I have ever met and I am trying to fix that, hence watching this TED talk, but this guy really hit me in my heart. What a beautiful speech! These are the types of TED talks that I love!

[@missruckertheheiress]

Wow, he just made me realize “I don’t have time” Really is an EXCUSE. 👀 …(leaves and changes a few things)💯💚😅

[@divineuchenna6337]

I think this just changed the way I see life.

[@xxzg0run975]

I'm speechless. He said it all.
