Time Management Lies - Why You're Not Productive

[@MedSchoolInsiders]

Thanks for watching! What other questions do you have about time management and productivity? I like making videos about this topic 🤓

[@DarkKn1ght430]

Med School Insiders could you touch on points of balancing a family and medical school? I’m currently in my undergrad majoring in biochemistry. I work 40+ hours a week and have 5 kids. I’m trying to find a spot to fit research, volunteering, and shadowing in. I sometimes feel as though I don’t have enough time to get everything done.

[@Champitoinwonderland]

I am so glad that you made this video because I've been looking for time management tips since I'm very bad at it. I am currently an engineering undergrad and would like to know how did you manage your time when you had lots of subjects and school work at the same time in college. Thank you for always creating these videos!

[@DRCHRISTINANGUYEN_US]

You explained time management very well! I can definitely relate with putting away my devices and scheduling my events that work for me as a person rather than according to what works for most people. I also find gym first thing in the morning can make my day tiring afterwards :D

[@tyler_ramsey11]

Where is a psychiatry video, ive seen so many videos now and learned so much about an M.D. but I really need info on my specialty.

[@OriLOK2]

This was a great video, and it really helps maximize time. But I would like to know what you think in terms of energy. I have a chronic illness and I have a limited amount of energy in a day. It doesn't matter how I plan my day because whatever I want to do makes me tired halfway into the day. I can't go out with friends if I decide to work or vice versa.

[@florence5265]

1) Do , focus ONLY one thing at a time 2) Set small goals at a given time 3) Learn from failures 4) Do not compromise your sleep 5) Important and urgency are different stuff - do important things (meditate,brush teeth etc in the early hours of morning ) make them as habits

Finding this channel almost two years ago now has been such a help! I have also realised more and more that enjoying and embracing the process is a key factor. Drastic changes don't come overnight but consistency and a willingness to try new things, one step at a time with a little bit of tweaking here and there does in time lead to results! Thank you Dr. Jubbal for the content this channel brings! Greetings from Sweden.

"The journey is the reward." -Old Proverb

[@futoijosei]

I have goals but not time limits for each day. Times make work difficult because my tasks never meet the time I set aside. I get quite a bit done doing it this way. When I get tired, I go to another task so that I can get some more energy.

[@MedSchoolInsiders]

Great!

[@violaisreallycool]

That's my current system for my scheduling. I usually arrange it in a more primitive style, as I assess what I need to do at the start of the day instead of having it planned. But I find that this currently works really well for me and my procrastination (since I've been shifting my reasons for procrastination from simply not enough motivation to too large to tackle) and not being overwhelmed.

[@AdelinaShamoon-Ph.D]

Probably depends on what you are working towards. There's a difference between workiing for a corporation or you're own business

[@weshall1071]

Work accrues stress. Stress negatively impacts the mind and body and Spurs sickness and diasease. Whatever goal one thinks they need to be a "tyrant of time management" for is often times superficial and temporary compared to the joys of family life and enlightenment.

[@cautarepvp2079]

I told myself to be productive tomorrow, but I just end up being lazy again and the cycle repeat. 😬😬

[@gefinsurancebrokers3200]

I feel you

[@uttah6976]

Niceeee

[@superfluityme]

Your brain operates in the now so when you tell it some time in the future it doesn't focus on the task as the future is never happening. So your habit in the present is to 'be lazy'. If you want to change that habit start doing something now it doesn't have to be a major task. The actual task is to change your habit; so for example: You have the laundry to do so you pick up your dirty clothes and put them in the laundry basket and that's it you started to do in the present. Then build on it. Remember you are not trying to achieve the laundry you are making a habit of doing by starting small. Apply the laundry example to what you want to achieve. Hope this helps :)

1. Life season Work-life has it's season Urgent-important are not the same 2. Eliminate distraction Maintain focus Deadline boost the productivity Practice allocating time 3. Find the Nuance in Proper Scheduling

[@johnnywu8708]

A lot of people are going to have issues implementing these methods, but it's important to have a clear understanding of yourself and what it is you're not doing. You can choose to say you're not "motivated" or that you don't have "passion", but most of the time what you're saying is that you're unwilling to put in the effort and time it takes to do something. Once you realize that, it then becomes a problem you can work on.

1. Number 1 dogma: - Only either spend your time working all out or playing all out, don't try to do both at the same time - Focus 1 thing at a time only - that is why I struggle with listening to music and doing work at the same time lol, sometimes multitasking just doesn't work and it slows you down rather than speeding you up 2. Work life balance doesn't exist - it is rather a work life harmony that we juggle and dance within the greater context of our lives - often find ourselves to be focused on 1 or the other 3. Urgency and importance isn't the same thing - working out and eating healthy isn't urgency, but they are important, so they should still be strictly followed 4. Parksin's Law - work expands to fill the time allotted to it - so that is why people procrastinate, but gets a lot of stuff done in the last few days - no distraction left so gets super productive all of the sudden ⚠️ - very important to turn off all distractions, like email, texts, and DM, because they can be very distracting and even a little ping can greatly hinder your work, must do this before you go to work (unless your task is helping your friends out or something, then maybe you can have it on, yeah). 5. Practice allotting time - assign time to work to get maximum efficiency - A. Plan your day out, see what you want to do and got to do, then see what you can prioritize - Outline, then experiment and execute, then revise, then execute again - Dr. Jabal prioritizes important but non-emergency work, high quality rather than extended medium quality work, and 8-9 hours of sleep - B. You cannot focus indefinitely for hours on end - important to use the pomodoro method to prevent yourself from burn out - C. Entropy grow as the day proceeds - prioritize in doing more important or foundational items in the morning 6. Don't compromise on sleep - sleeping is so important, you are only more efficient if you are awake - a lack of sleep should only be exceptions, not the rule 7. Growth mindset and be flexible - you will inevitably fail to follow your schedule or on many things in life, but just think of how you can do better the next time or what you can do at the moment to make the most out of what you got 8. Learning how to spend flexible time intelligently - do productive and fun things instead of mindlessly doing things? idk lol, just balance it out - I guess maybe can have down time, part of life maybe, but plan it and keep it within a range of time - if you really need it Thank you Dr. Jabal!

Probably the most important meta skill when trying to improve or change is the realization that you may actually fail or miss your target many times before any permanent change occurs, and this is fine. The ability to forgive yourself and keep trying is fat more important than beating yourself up for not reaching an arbitrary goal as fast as you would like. You cant improve a habit that doesnt exist.

Hello, please also don’t rely on high dopamine. The reason you can’t stop checking your phone is because you want that dopamine rush.

1. Work and plan separate, only one at a time. 2. Life has busy seasons and lax seasons, it's a constant dynamic. 3. Urgency is not importance. Importance is not urgency. Important tasks should be scheduled no matter what, because they usually have long term compound effects on you. Urgent tasks should be prioritized at once. Goes like this: No urgency. Importance prioritized. Have urgency. Importance prioritized a level below urgency. You can put important tasks on time-frame where you are free the most, then move on to deal with urgent tasks. Like putting important tasks in the morning after wake-up, or important tasks in the afternoon break, or evening. 4. Interruption is bad, really bad. You shouldn't have interruptions when you are focusing and working. Notifications, emails, people call you etc. Reject all of them. 5. Set deadlines for yourself when you are doing tasks. 6. Daily schedule suggestions: creative work in the morning, medium quality, relatively-less focus work in the afternoon. 7. Outline your desired outcomes of your schedule. Experiment on and off and find the most suitable one for yourself. 8. Sleep. 9. Miss a deadline or get distracted, improvise. Take good use of the rest of your time and move on. Gotta accept 60%. 10. Stick to your schedule until it becomes a habit. 11. Learn to use pocket time wisely.

I live in the American Gardens Building on West 81st Street on the 11th floor. My name is Patrick Bateman. I’m 27 years old. I believe in taking care of myself, and a balanced diet and a rigorous exercise routine. In the morning, if my face is a little puffy, I’ll put on an ice pack while doing my stomach crunches. I can do a thousand now. After I remove the ice pack I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower I use a water activated gel cleanser, then a honey almond body scrub, and on the face an exfoliating gel scrub. Then I apply an herb-mint facial masque which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an after shave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion. There is an idea of a Patrick Bateman. Some kind of abstraction. But there is no real me. Only an entity. Something illusory. And though I can hide my cold gaze, and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours, and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable, I simply am not there.
