0:00.0	Time management doesn't start on the pages of our planners.
0:12.0	It starts by getting to the heart of what matters most.
0:16.0	There are so many different ideas and books and thoughts and methods around time management and
0:23.6	organization. And what is so disheartening to me is to talk with someone who has tried to
0:30.7	follow a system, but it doesn't work for them. And they think that they are the problem. But what's
0:37.2	really happening here is that
0:39.4	the system as written is not a match for the way that they think. It's not a match for their

1:46.5	So I'd love to hear any really surprising insights about time management that you know and we
1:52.8	don't, but we should know.
1:54.1	Well, I'll tell you an insight that I learned very early in my, I guess you could call it
2:00.1	time management career. My first job, straight out
2:02.8	of college, was as a scheduler to a United States congressman. And my very first week on the job,
2:09.0	I was so excited to dive in and create the most perfect schedule anyone had ever seen. And on
