When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing | Daniel H. Pink | Talks at Google

Everyone knows that timing is everything. But we don’t know much about timing itself. Our lives are a never-ending stream of “when” decisions: when to start a business, schedule a class, get serious about a person. Yet we make those decisions based on intuition and guesswork. Timing, it’s often assumed, is an art. In "When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing," Dan Pink shows that timing is really a science.

So true. I ran my first marathon this year at age 29. Got goosebumps when i heard this

[@The_Flash26]

congratulations bro ! BTW, I plan to run a marathon without any prior training. Can you give me some advice?

[@haipengli4769]

Some key ideas: 1. Performance varies with mood, which is associated with time; 2. Temporary landmarks have a higher chance for successful behavioral changes; 3. Synchronization helps

If I am a google employee and I hear Dan Pink will facilitate a talk at my company.. I would be over the moon. Such a low turnout. So many people need to hear this. Thanks for posting this publicly though, I can use this as reference for my own talks and share with my friends. #choralesinger2007to2011 and now I want to go back!

Sounds like a good argument for a Hobbit's lifestyle: frequent naps under the shade of a tree, six small meals a day, a good pipe in the evening and ruminating under the stars... Imagine that for our judges. The myth of three square meals a day needs to be put to rest. The graph is perfectly matched to the insulin peaks and lows that come with the poor timing of the modern diet.

[@arrabalimaz622]
