Exactly. Work smarter, not harder. There is a new process called Agile, most companies doing that now. It's so easy to think working 13 hour days is more productive. It isn't. But the perception is it is. My company did 8 hour days and productivity went up 300%

I was trying to tell my sister who’s been a stay at home parent for a while how crazy it is now. That there’s this whole extra category of “work before the work.” Emails and calendars and systems that everyone obsesses over to make themselves feel…. Important? Relevant? Every time I’ve dared question the focus on those trivial tasks I’ve been meet with resistance. They don’t like being forced to confront the meaningless nature of how their time is spent.
@cmetcalf27Ай бұрын
Cal is doing it the way it's always been done. Go to work, submit your work to the public, get back to work, then do some interviews. Actors and writers have been doing this forever and it's always worked. Like he said, you have to draw the line somewhere and his line has done well for many even without the Internet at all. Good for him. 🙌

Thank you for this enlightening podcast, and a special thanks to Rich for emphasizing that anything meaningful requires a decade of dedication and foundation building. Around three years ago, a particular topic piqued my interest, and since then, I've devoted most of my free time to exploring it. I've been diligently learning, jotting down ideas, and gradually honing my expertise in this field. However, there are times when self-doubt creeps in, and I question if my efforts are in vain. Your insights are greatly appreciated and serve as a reminder of the value of perseverance

Good ideas on time management. I spent time dissecting how I spend my time a few years back and was horrified to see that most of my time is within my control, despite having a executive position with many demands, and that I was spending my time mostly on things that were not important to my job and life. I would suggest that everyone take an inventory of your time - a few key areas of potential benefit - email, meetings without clear purpose which are usually too long, checking social media/stock market. Be clear on your priorities so you can control what is within your control. It’s difficult but there is huge benefit if you can create a plan and stick to it.
@stephenvankleeck48015 ай бұрын
Spot on. My senior leadership often recommend “The Effective Executive” - which is kind of “meh” outside of the section on time budgeting. For anyone stepping from an individual contributor role into a management/leadership position - tracking your “time budget” will set you apart from many other folks at your level! I’ve made very minor tweaks to time allocation and it’s drastically reduced my anxiety levels at the end of the day and week because I carve time out for what’s important (and that needs assessed and reassess in real-time) and I’ve cultivated discipline to actually use that time for that activity. So simple, but has created significant improvements. All by simply using my calendar as my to-do list and cultivating discipline to just do it.

Right there with you. Now the task for those conditioned by the productivity myth is to be in constant containment mode watching stress levels levels like a hawk. It makes one feel more in control in these situations, and the mind does not like to have no control and predictive capacity.

As a tech guy that's dealt with substantial burnout, I think this guy gets it. However, one issue with time management that we can't fix on our own is managing other people's expectations. Now that we have the technology to be in touch with everyone 24/7, many workplaces now expect that each employee will be available to handle any request, anytime, day or night, no matter how trivial the subject. Example: I've been formally reprimanded for not replying to a status email that was sent at 3am. I replied at 6am, a few minutes after I woke up. HR told me to be figure out how to be more responsive.

1:36:00 It hit me in this section where Cal is talking about managerial capitalism, that this is the difference between Elon Musk and Tesla versus most other large corporations in the US. Most other large corporations are managerial capitalist organizations where management’s aim is for stability and safety of their own positions, with the objectives of the company and its shareholders being in second place. After having read Elon‘s biography, it becomes clear to me that he is essentially the owner of his companies and he is physically there at those companies frequently. In doing so, he holds all levels of the companies, including the top levels of management, to task directly, pushing forward the objectives of the companies. Which, by the way, are Elon’s objectives. This is why GM and Ford do not have the culture and burning desire to push their companies forward into the future like Tesla. The result is that Elon is key to the success of his companies. No other manager that I’m aware of can or would manage these companies in the same way.

1:10 thing / I’ve studied compiter science and had my 486 intel pc in around 96 / first slow modem to now having 1 GB network… I’m listening to this youtube podcast while walking, can’t see the screen, me thinking - no it is gonna step back / tvs are cheap, everyone has mobile phones, I use radio in my car often, and I sort of miss using it more, audio is gonna step up, more hands free wireless, and more physical apperances.. I’m all “popular” platforms but youtube is like a default now - I can’t really watch 3 hours of podcasts but I can walk for 2 hours and listen to it and take breaks while walking etc.. Anyway youtube is the podcast and tiktok for me, and I’m guessing it’s not going away quickly - I get hooked on shorts when browsing / put my mind on standby, and longer videos I listen through while doing my daily 10-15k steps..

Here's how I maximize productivity and reasonably sane at work as a manager... Let phone calls go to voice mail and check them later. Call back as needed. Don't let unscheduled conversations interrupt your focus. Shared live Google sheets to keep track of workflow and keep people on the same page and assign tasks with color coding. Have a set work schedule where you come in and leave at the same time every day and make sure others know when that is. If the job provides a cell phone, keep a separate personal phone and leave the work phone at work or leave it in your car or silence it when not working. Schedule everything and be at least 2 weeks out in your mindset.

Finally instead of talking about increasing joy of life he talks about increasing productivity. Instead of people, as humans he talks about intellectual workers. Very sad. One more win for KZfaq and a loss for humanity. Have a productive life Rich, but I will follow another path towards a joyful life.
