Timestamps and Takeaways
01:44 It’s only humans that have developed the ability to measure time, and animals don’t have that ability; it is more automatic for them.
02:36 When living in our external representation of time measured by clocks and calendars, it can be limiting and slow us down.
03:28 There is another experience of time whereby being present, you can feel like you have achieved more just by not having to measure it and experience it at that moment.
04:30 Wanting results, outcomes and goals are fine with clarity, but sometimes we trap ourselves with having the end in mind when it comes to time pressures.
04:49 Leaders often trap themselves and their time by causing unnecessary pressure when they say we must do this by a particular time.
05:23 When it comes to creative problem solving, you need to consider getting out of the habit of thinking about time and how much time it will take to find a solution.
06:20 we often say we will make time for reflection and downtime for ideas to form, but we often fall into the trap of never scheduling it in our week.
07:42 The real benefits of slowing down and being present throughout your day.
