The Philosophy of Time Management | Brad Aeon | TEDxConcordia
You are going to die eventually. Will you fill whatever lifetime you have left with so-called time management techniques and shortcuts? Or will you see time management as a way to infuse your life with meaning and purpose?
Brad Aeon studies time. Thank you for your time. Aeon is a Ph.D. researcher at the John Molson School of Business focused on time management, temporality, and work-life balance. He focuses on the improvement of our temporal decision-making as a solution to achieving more success by leading a less busy life. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

"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 👏

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.

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.

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.
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.

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)

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
Time is money ❌ TIME is LIFE ✔️
This is by far the best talk I've heard on time management.

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!
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
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)
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!

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.
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.
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!

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

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.

What I thought over the years. Spending time around fire singing and laughing with your family compared to now worrying about money and assignments
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 ..
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.
Very deep and profound! Makes us question the common phrase"I dont have time". Thanks a lot for your insight on Time Management.
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.
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"
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%
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
Amazing talk, more people needs to hear the this talk and understand the Philosophy of Time 💯
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. ☺️
Speech gives me inspiration about time , having consciousness about time will help me to separate it !good job , keep it up
Thank you! Time is my life and freedom. I'm impressed. Great talk!
Why do we do anything if we're going to die? Because life is so precious. It's a gift. So use it.
The talk remind us that Life is a one time gift given to us to live by managing time effectively. Thankyou sir
Powerful stuff. This has opened another door for me in the world of time management
🙌🙌🙌 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. 🤩👏
I'm surprised to see it has very less views, this thing is literally Gold . People just did'nt seem to realise that.
"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🙏🥰
This is an incredible talk with a twist with the addition of philosophy
Absolutely superb way of explaining the concept of time management. Really worth watching the video more than once.

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!
Best session i have heard on time management till today. Thank You
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.
You opened my eyes Professor
So enthralling and evocative! Thank you for uploading this. I could relate to this completely.
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.
Motivating and thought provoking talk, Truly remarkable.
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.
Never looked at time management from this philosophical perspective. Thanks.
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.
great talk on time management: philosophical view.
this is an amazing speech, mind opening for sure!
Yes one can manage his/her time. Time management is very important. Thank you sir for the nice presentation.
This men's head is brighter than my future 👏🏻
Sacrifice or make an excuse... you decide. Thanks for this motivational video.
motivating and thought provoking talk....and I will use my time properly.

Thank you sir for explaining Philosophy of time management which is most important.
one of the best talks of all time
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
Thought-provoking. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing so much wisdom, Brad ✨️
One of the Best Ted talks.!!!
Astounding speech on how to balance work and life with quotations from Seneca and Sartre
I love this video, looking deep on the time pressure from philosophical point of view. He doesn't look impressive, but his talk does!
Thank you, I loved this talk. I am asking myself, " why do I need to manage time?" Instead of "what do I do next?"
Excellent speech about Time Management. Thank you 🙏
The way he talks and the concept he explained. I think he is a Stoic
Thank you sir for this excellent lecture on time management

Absolutely loved it....So well done! Thank u for reminding us...
Thanks for telling the difference between time and money 💰 as till now we just kept listening that time is money. It was great to listen something different.
Excellent speech sir. You gave real meaning of time
Wonderful presentation on time management and philosophy Thank you sir for the presentation
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!!
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. ✨🖋️
Time management is very important in Teaching Thank you Sir
The Philosophy of Time Management for classes thank you
It was very useful and easy for understanding. Thank you very much. I loved your way of talking
I'm speechless. He said it all.
Loved this talk! He is a very good orator. He knows when to give a dramatic pause. When to ask rhetorical questions Speaks clearly As good flow with the words His words actually make you think He creates a good hype and super delivery. Thank you so much! Mgbu!
This sounded like a beautiful poem to me! 🧠
Thank you Mr. Aeon, learned a lot.
This is a diamond amongst the Ted Talks, I agree with the OP, made me take a hard look inward.
Thank you very much important discussion on philosophy of time management.
