- Everything you know about time-management is wrong. In this challenging and counter-intuitive video, Self-Discipline Strategist and New York Times bestselling author of Rory Vaden, shows you why you can't solve today's time-management challenges with yesterday's time-management strategies. More importantly he explains why procrastinating on purpose is the key to being able to Multiply your time.
Self-Discipline Strategist Rory Vaden’s book Take the Stairs is a #1 Wall St Journal and #2 New York Times bestseller. Rory is also Co-Founder of Southwestern Consulting™, an 8-figure global consulting practice. His new book Procrastinate On Purpose: 5 Permissions to Multiply Your Time came out in January of 2015 and was an instant National Bestseller. Free insights at www.roryvadenblog.com .
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx
i've multiplied my time by watching this video at 1.5 speed
+Shawzia Dewan I actually do this sometimes when I try to "manage" my time better :D
superb comment
+Shawzia Dewan Hahaha kudos, I went for 2.25 times speed .
+Shawzia Dewan dudeme too 1.25x lol
+Shawzia Dewan 18:32 Best part of this video
“There is no such thing as time management, since time continues on whether you like it or not. There is only SELF management.”
Respectfully
Yes we just need to manage our time which is money but all is not about money, thinking manager has unlimited dimensions , i think
Duh! This isn't the great insight you think it is. You're just being pedantic.
This proves that always we should have a critical mind. What might have been valid yesterday might not be today.
@@sid-aliagouar2131 I am agree with you, there is other dimensions of time management or self management of his own time : duration for exemple is one of them, if the task can be take a sohrt duration, why procratinate it ? Another dimension : grouping. if the task can be grouped with others to be done, we can postpone it, and therfore we gain in time and efficiency. Anothor dimension : Planification. If we change the plan, we can change tasks that needs to be done to achieve the goal, and thus we can diminish tasks in numbers, difficulties, duration and cost
Summary:
How we choose to spend our time is as much logical as emotional
One dimensional thinking solution: Efficiency - do your to-do list faster
Two dimensional thinking solution: Prioritization - (on the axes of importance and urgency)
Three dimensional: “Significance” - Urgency how soon does it matter; importance - how much does it matter; significance - how long does it matter
You multiply your time by giving yourself the emotional permission to spend time on things today that will give you more time tomorrow
The significance calculation changes everything
Focus Funnel: Eliminate, automate, delegate, - me (now=concentrate/ later=procrastinate on purpose)
Thank you :)
Thank you for the summary.

Thanks for the summary 😊

"You multiply your time by giving yourself the emotional permission to spend time on things TODAY that will give you more time TOMORROW." Rory Vaden
With your story it's true that everything could be delegated
This video was great, and the story about his own life was incredible.
Only thing missing from this construct is the dimension of sequence.
Doing things in the right order will naturally allow you to finish them in less time. You can look up the Tetris Effect which speaks to the groove your mind gets into.
There should also be a lot more talk in this field about switching to complementary activities which allow you to rest and regenerate your attention and energy.
After a long period of reading and note-taking, it may be more productive to spend some time making calls and speaking to people to regenerate our eyes and get charged up with energy, then retire to the peaceful solitude of reading again.
Trying to power through hours of the same activity will yield diminishing marginal returns.
We all have to establish a rhythm that will allow us to stay productive for long periods of time without fatigue, similar to how the standard song structure of intro-verse-chorus-verse-chorus-bridge-chorus-outro can keep our attention without tiring us out.
If we scheduled our days similarly, we would get a lot more done while feeling a lot less depleted, because we would be riding our natural waves of momentum.
Genius.
Tacoma Wind I love this. I call it self management.
As he says, there is no such thing as time management, but there is self management. Nowadays time management is more of emotional rather than logical. That means that if you gain control of yourself, you will automatically gain control of your time.
what is the right order, so to speak?
Yeah. That’s what I’ve found as well. If I do something I kinda want to do in between what I don’t want to do, I find I get a lot more done. If I do what I don’t want to do one thing after another, I usually just end up giving up and laying down on the couch or watching TH-cam videos for 30 minutes or more.
The best thing I learnt from this is that when I get the urge to procrastinate I should ask myself "what can I do today so that I'll have more time tomorrow?" This should definitely be one of the mottos of life for a procrastinator!
My applause for the lady in blue top at 18:14 who knows to respect others.
I also think that it needs courage to stand up alone for the things we liked ...👍👍😊
My first TEDx Talk that put me on tears... Great sharing, the last words quoted from Bible was truly significant for me as I am a Christian. Never thought that the word "multiply" could be used on time.
Time can neither be created nor destroyed. But it can be spent wisely
Time CAN be 'created', if we are wise (I mean, the PERSONAL/ individual time, not the God's/ universe's time).
That is called time (and money, as in Economics) MULTIPLIER EFFECT.
Time can be destroyed if we don't used it wisely
Time can be destroyed, for example, ending someone or something’s life destroys their time.

//interesting point, I agree. I guess time really is like money, aside from the whole time being unlimited thing.
I'm disappointed he didnt say "thank you for your time" in the end.
+Jay Leung he didn't say it, because he gives, not take their time.
+Jay Leung he was not begging to watch his video.
I wish he said this, not that cheesy "Be fruitful and multiply" bit that only made since because he called it multiplying time.
Jay Leung I guess he doesnt have time for that
Subash Bhatta op
"Time management isn't real because time goes on no matter what"
Thanks buddy
Rory, this is one of the most brilliant talks I've heard in a long time. Thank you for sharing your ideas. Wish you all the best in your future significant moments.
I've come to realize that accomplishing all your work, all your things ahead of time won't give you more time, because you'll always have new things to have to do with that "spare time". So yes, procrastinate, take a break, have some rest on purpose. We'll be happier when we choose the right things to spend our time on. Work can wait.
Right
Many people know this, but few apply the concepts, and it takes a great presenter like him to convey the message in a way that we understand and with which we connect emotionally. It's this connection that makes all the difference in the world, and in our lives. Gotta love it.
The absolute eloquence of this talk is breath taking
I can't stop myself from watching this ted talk over and over. This is one of the most helpful ted talk for me. Greatly thankful to this man for this wonderful advice.
'What can I do today that would make tomorrow better' wow...what a wonderful way to think differently about time.
I always was fed up by tasks and stressed that time seems to flow so fast but this talk helped me a lot!
The story about his mum and dad is certainly beautiful : )
So great! Gets at the need to shift to 3 dimensional time management. Significant! I'm coaching a team of architects who have to work all the time without really thinking through 3 dimensions. They're getting this talk to help them think differently.
The story about his dad broke my heart and fixed it again.
I have always had problems with time ,thought that people who speak about time management have something missing , but with no real evidence !
I was in need of such talk ,Thanks alot.
This guy pretty much described what I learned to do the hard way.
EDIT: 8 years later I'm still following this strategy and I still refer people to this video, it has been absolutely a game changer for me and to people around me who understood it.
Nice thought. Now that your ego is plump, just know that not everyone will arrive at the same conclusions. it's up to people like you to patiently convey these ideas and serve as an example to human excellence, not to flaunt knowledge
I did not mean to disrespect.
When I started making some good money on my own I could quantify how much exactly is 1 hour of my time worth and I just went from there.
Like hire a house keeper once a week, instead wasting time cleaning the apartment on my own, getting a coffee machine which needs refilling and cleaning just once per week instead of each time I want to make coffee (2-3 times per day), not paying my driving tickets until I receive a notice that my bank accounts might get locked (lol), buying a lot of clothes once per year so I don't have to do it every couple of months or so, flying to my home city instead of driving even though it's only 500km away but it saves me 2-3 hours with a plane.
Little things like that add up in the end.
Looks like you got your stuff together. Not everyone takes the same care into making necessary changes. Keep up the time multiplication and spread the word, bro
+Mustaine_24 BUT YOU DID IT!!!!!.......good..on...you!!!!!!!

*Automation is to your time as compound interest is to your money* - 10:52
This is one of the best Ted talk I've heard!
Rory, I'm liking what I'm seeing for the most part. As a quick example: My son is home schooled and can complete a normal school day in in just over 2 hours. We've tried putting him in private school and he finds that the school system is filled with a lot of wasted time. We've went to an online school to allow him to get NCAA credits for college.
School is mostly about socializing and gaining social skills. It's very important in the big picture.
Maybe the boys needs to start looking into financial management, how to invest in stock and things of that nature. Don't want him to filled with boredom. He can start build wealth now. Be a few step ahead...
Love the idea of making a "significance calculation" beyond what's urgent and important. Thanks for the insight, Rory!
"Waiting to do something, because we're deciding that now is not the right time" That is something I need to learn.
Dude, thank you so much for this realisation. I always felt like my time could be spent in smarter ways and you've helped that light bulb lit up in a way I just never came to realise. The whole concept of a multiplier is really something everyone reading this comment should pay attention to!!!
automation in time same as compound interest in money. simple & brilliant. Much thanks
Multiply your time by changing the speed at x2, so you could save more room to watch more TED talks
XDDDDDD
Joshua Simangunsong how to change speed to ×2 tho?
That could actually waste time since keeping it at the normal speed gives your brain more time to process and retain the information.
Just skip
that's what i do
Wow... I started watching with low expectations. Really strong thing! Congrats Rory. And as always, the personal story is very very important to connect with the audience.
Still my favorite TED Talk. Thank you Rory :)
Ha, ha! Since I procrastinated (I don't know if on purpose) I found and watched this interesting video.
+Cienciabit: Ciencia para Niños y Jóvenes. Hehehe... if you don't know if on purpose, then it wasn't on puropse.
Sometimes your mind decides things for you, so you don't know if you did something like procrastinate.
Me too lol :D
Same.

What a great presenter he is
+f3rd1n4nt The way he speaks reminds me of Ted Cruz
This is AMAZING !!
This 4years old video is so up to date that can change my life.
This is so POWERFUL...A crisp and engaging talk. Thank you Rory Vaden
such a lovely talk, i dont regret a second of watching it. Actually, i am gonna watch this again and again
Great presentation, great advice, loved the ending! Totally identified about not trusting anyone to get the job done as well as I can. Gleaned a lot from this!!
This is my favorite thing I've seen on youtube in months!
Right now I'm in grad school and I've already been thinking of all 3 aspects of time. It really has helped. Because back when I was in college, I was really stressed and always felt like I was finishing last minute and never finished my to-do list. Even now, I don't finish it, but now I'm okay with that and let some items slip off.
RORY VADEN!!! fantastic stuff. literally stood up in front of my desktop and applauded!
+Manav Shah same here!
lmao I tried to imagine that
wow. you have explained myself to me. YES this is how I think and I have been told a lot of times that I seem to have more time than anyone else!
I have a full time job, i run my own business and I teach on the side. Now i know how i did it! Thank you! A lovely talk indeed.
Rory, well done. You worked so hard to get it, keep it up. And thank you for your light.
This is absolutely amazing, probably the best talk I have EVER seen!
This was really helpful on a "root cause" type level. Thank you for
this! It seems basic at first but all of these tips matter and the more
you do them the more your life improves over-all.
God, I love how this man speaks
Amazing delivery of thoughts!
No where the flow was interrupted.
Than all, the content was flawless!
Pleasant presence of himself on stage and one of the best speakers I have ever listened to.
Good storyteller, helping these insights sink in. What I’ll be sure to remember: automation and delegation are like compound interest but for time, and yes I can do some things better for now but my new hire will learn and at first she is learning but is so capable that she could do those things even better, and then I can focus on other important things.
Wonderful talk; I've been doing time management the old way and it feels like making progress at a snail's pace. can't wait to work on this new strategy and do like a multiplier.
Finally a Ted Talk that actually gives me more than a bit more motivation for next 30mins of my life
This is the most helpful, beneficial, and realistic talk I have heard in many years. It was short, informative, and to the point. I can actually use this in my everyday life.
The most fruitful contribution I can share with and for all humanity is my immediate conclusion that this concept be taught and reinforced through the first years of high school.
How significantly altered my human experience and different some of my decisions may have been.
The video puts forward a whole new perspective to Time Management. It brings out the fact that one's emotional state plays a significant role along with logical state as the logical thinking is directly affected by fear,guilt,worry,anxiety, frustration etc.He introduces a third dimension, "significance" to the well known 2D Importance Vs Urgency Plot by Steven Covey. With this new dimension Rory emphasises on measuring what the significance of the task by evaluating the duration for which it will hold importance.
His theory to multiply time talks about the things that you can do today to make tomorrow better.To achieve this we need to give ourselves emotional permission to spend time on things TODAY that will give us more time TOMORROW.
Shrey Vardham
I watch Brian Johnson's philosophers notes & he was talking about your books , this was the first time he talked about an author and I was like HOLY CRAP! MIND BLOWN! and researched more on my own , thanks for what you do, and leaving a trail of breadcrumbs so I can follow& figure it out for myself too-SarahJane
Wow ! This lecture was phenomenal ! Great work Rory Vaden !
Four bullet points towards better time management ...superbly executed, practical talk. Thanks!
Like many college students, I am terrible with time management. Procrastination has been way too common in my daily routine, especially towards the end of the semester when I should be intently focused on my studies. The steps that Rory recommends that we take to multiply our time - eliminate, automate, and delegate - are new to me. As much as I would like to, I cannot delegate my school work to a classmate or a family member, but the process of eliminating assignments that can wait for a while may be very helpful. I think a large portion of my problem is that I tend to focus on all of the assignments from every one of my classes and therefore get stressed out with the quantity of tasks that need to get done, eliminating and automating could help with this.
dude! i didnt know it but I have been procrastinating on purpose all my life!
Authentic and refreshing reason I feel like I never have enough time. Thank you.
I love your boldness in sharing scripture... amen!
this idea is beautiful. instead of little tasks that you need to do today to get you to your boring, and exactly the same tomorrow, you do tasks that will take you directly to what your ideal lifestyle is. (or at least this is what I got out of it)
He said at the beginning that the classic time management is about efficiency (and he said it not gonna solve modern time problem), then his solution - eliminate/automation/delegate is ALL about efficiency.
one of our most valuable "thing" is time. And how we lead with it defines how we live, in every verbal time.
It's always an interesting subject to discuss.
Love this. It's about self-management. Some great reminders here. Cheers!
problem with homework is ,
1:sadly not allowed to eliminate
2:cant automate
3:nobody wants to do my home work
Answer: you cant multiply homework (which makes my math teacher angry)
You're right, homework can't be eliminated, automated but it can be delegated if you are willing to pay a fellow student.
Anyways, forget what I said above, that was not the point I wanted to raise.
Homework in itself is actually multiplying your time. Learning from doing the homework saves you time from revising for the test.
PS: I am this account holders little nethew, he delegated the task of replying to this post to me :)
Concentrate and do it now :D
Don't do homework. You can still have good grades, homework is not necessairy.

Great talk - Rory speaks a lot of sense!
I enjoyed this video as I am a person who does everything myself and overwhelmed with responsibilities! Thanks Rory!
ive watched 100 ted talks, been on kahn academy for years, used lunches and breaks to learn a new language and get everything done i can but this has changed how im going to live my life
I am sick. I have Lyme disease. Therefore my mind and body always tells me, "Don't dare do today, what you can put off until tomorrow." So now I am working very hard to tell myself that if I do that, tomorrow will never come because I will be dead. So I work to invest for passive income so I can afford treatment. I have fought hard to regain my health. The fight is not over yet, as I am not in my grave yet. I still pray and work for better days, for better health to be able to enjoy days that God may permit me to add.
God bless you. Hope you had a full recovery by now
That is the best talk I’ve seen this year.
The message is clear and very well delivered.
I am thinking such a great message should be known by more people.
I want to translate it into Chinese subtitles, can I get your permission to do that?
+Rory Vaden for me the dilemma is i want to work for future which is 'significance' whereas my boss pulls me to 'urgent'. its literally saving my job against my own development. my work time and priorities are well defined by my manager, can't delegate or eliminate almost anything, no way of automation as my work itself is to create automation. so what do you suggest?
+Richard Shen True, this talk is eye-opening and deserves much more views than this.
Its been two years, I think this is what we call procrastination
Richard Shen *голс
Where can I find Chinese version?
Very touching story of how you found your dad...great speech here too
The story of his mom, so sweet
Wow, the story of how he found his father is cool as hell. Way to go!
Or rather, how his mother found her husband. Delegation :)
*"Time management" is emotional*
Wow! Just wow... One of the best TED Talks ever.
Ironic how he begins with an anecdote about how he doesn't want any children, then ends by quoting Genesis: "Be fruitful and multiply."
Different context, I know, but the irony remains.
XD
+Alessandro Tomich Another things is his mom tell him to find a dad. Turn out he did lol!
+Alessandro Tomich He never implied anything about not wanting children.. he "jokingly" said, that he might not be ready for children... so... just pay better attention next time lol
Good one here!! hahaha
He meant multiply your time!
Very neat traction in managing yourself and your tasks. Thanks for sharing.
One if the BEST logical speechs TED has ever introduced .. fabulous
You literally saved me after almost a year of struggling with overthinking and anxiety about what I should be doing. You are amazing. Thank you 😊
How things are now?
If you put off the insignificant things it adds up for tomorrow...yet he preaches spend time on things today that will free up tomorrow.
But if you spend time on things every single day that will free up tomorrow, everyday of your life will be trying to free up tomorrow. I think this is a great speech, its just some credibility, or examples would make it that much better. How do I know this works?
Another thing is it almost reiterates common sense, to get the most important things done first. Then focus on the small things. However small things add up as well and will become big things that will once, after getting done, free up tomorrow...so in the end it is a never ending cycle. If you working to get things done to free up tomorrow is an everyday repetition and you will always be using your time for 'tomorrow'.
How to multiply your time? Buy a flip phone...stay off social media.
It actually works!
I got one... People make fun of me sometimes. Then I say "it's less distracting," and every single person has agreed with that.

@@user86794 Kyllä! 😉
Deactivating is also another idea
Thanks so much to put the whole POP concept on TEDx. I really like this book and the idea. I practiced it and it just SAVED me. Much less worries to handle my busy life and I could focus on the most "significant" things to do.
genius! and finally it gives time and space to allow things to unfold naturally! (I've never before heard the idea of management, which was including trust, passive observation and allowance!) and the story about you finding the father - is just wow!)))) and very touching. and for me (person, who deligates poorly) is an amazing example. Thank you!
He was a good emotional speaker, and I really felt like it was a good TED in my feels. But I took a step back and asked myself how this information will really impact my time management, and the main message, avoid doing things you don't have to, is really not new.
+van Gink
That is not the only main message here, another important point is to think about time like you think about money, saying "what are things that I can do today that will give me more time tomorrow?" Which I think is relevant and new. The other thing that I love about Rory is he states that people's emotions play a huge factor in time management, we are not just productivity machines!
How we feel about what we are doing plays a huge role in how motivated we are to complete it.
+Matthew Silkwood The start of his speech was great and innovative. Realizing emotion plays a huge impact on our productivity is great. I got excited hearing that because I often felt "its not that I don't have time to do xyz, its I don't want to do xyz or have no energy/interest for it". But as he moved on in his speech the big idea got lost in detail. I wish the 3rd axis was "emotion/feeling" instead of "significance". To me "significance" is same as "importance" which already existed long ago. He went back to same ol same ol idea 2nd half of his speech
Yes absolutely! I've actually met Rory, we work for the same family of companies, I'd be excited about discussing that concept with you and him a little bit more!
+van Gink I'm thinking the same thing. I think I'll benefit by asking myself the question "What can I do today that would make tomorrow better?" It seems like a good way to get clarity on your priorities than just asking what is the most important thing as he said.
sometimes repeated info is a good way to remind ppl
Excuse me, but he actually dismissed Dr. S. Covey wrongly! Covey was not the one, who introduced priorities! In fact, Covey himself said that prioritization is already out there in the time management!
I'll give you more: the reason he dismissed Covey is - further in his talk he actually quotes Covey's work and portrays it as his own!!
* Say NO to things, Eliminate - these are actually Covey's Quadrants 3 and 4
* Spend time today to get more time in the future - this is actually Covey's Quadrant 2!
Covey said it all: spend time in Q2 to automate and delegate. He even taught how to delegate right: read "7 Habits..."!
Conclusion: Sound Information is presented. Rory is not the one to take credit for the most of it though!! ;)
Nice comment. Thanks for the post.
Those four quadrants aren't really Covey's - it's called an Eisenhower box.
This is a great talk. Of all the time management videos I have wasted my time watching, this is the most entertaining and effective.
One of the best talks I can actually apply today.
Great speech in 1.5x
Awesome, awesome, awesome! As someone w/ terrible ADD & neurological/brain issues I am constantly struggling w/ time management. Add to that an intense passion for learning in a wide variety of subjects, I am constantly paralyzed by how to spend my precious time (also have twin boys who are just as curious & smarter than me!!) & fulfill my responsibilities. I love the idea of significance over urgent. Less stress inducing and more beneficial. I actually think I have unwittingly been doing that w/ some of my info hoarding project (bad memory=save EVERYTHING) & everyone thinks I'm OCD or just wasting time. Feel even more confident now that it's not a waste of time & soon, when I'm done with it I'll have access to massive amts info-faster & more personalized to my needs than the internet. Great talk-easily in my top 3 of all time!!
+Darvostar Music bro im just like u lol
+Darvostar Music Yup, a curious personality combined with a wide-area of interests + the internet has made me go from workaholic to infoholic, cutting my usable free time to less than a quarter of what it was just a few years ago. TH-cam has really been the end of me, with Tedx talks being the main culprit.
Amazing!!!! that ending...wow! gave me chills! & perfect timing for me, I stopped procrastinating and just started a company: Fashion Multipliers! what are the odds! thank you!
11:32 - *an unforgettable twist.!!* Rory, thank you for this..!!
Know fundamental reasoning - the why - behind - the motivates - the powers - the time management tools such as todo lists and priority lists - "Create time by doing things that gives you more time tomorrow", do things that you are going to need to do any ways instead of waiting on it - waiting are delaying it takes away energy also, not about how much you do, but how much you ignore, how much can you not do or continuously take away or if you cannot, do automation of it. Money creates more money. Automation creates more time. Automate your bill payments, processes, streamline and plan out such things you need to do. Rather than having it possibly allocating anything anytime of day. Do things you need to do that you should be doing at this time. Think about what could be best done at some other time. Appropriate such as appropriate.
This works great with GTD! But you have to watch this video 10 times to get it all.
Best Ted talks i have ever watched!
One of the best talk I watch on TED😊
No wonder he is doing a ted-talk. He achieved his goal.
This is one the best enlighten and inspiring Ted talk that I've seen and heard. Thanks Mr. Vaden
Spent time on things today, that will give you more time tomorrow. Very well said!
The Ted turned out to be really helpful for me! Thanks! I found some answers to some questions that were pricking me alot! And that was revealing for me, though we all know that we can control many things we still procrasrinate, the time multiplier! The effective use!
Excellent!
