Dialogue: 0,0:02:52.83,0:02:55.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But I'm sure if you had asked her\Nat the start of the week,

Dialogue: 0,0:03:19.06,0:03:23.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And what this shows us\Nis that time is highly elastic.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:23.59,0:03:25.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We cannot make more time,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:25.66,0:03:29.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but time will stretch to accommodate\Nwhat we choose to put into it.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:30.37,0:03:32.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And so the key to time management
Dialogue: 0,0:03:33.54,0:03:35.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is treating our priorities
Dialogue: 0,0:03:35.80,0:03:38.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,as the equivalent\Nof that broken water heater.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:40.16,0:03:41.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,To get at this,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:41.34,0:03:44.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I like to use language from one\Nof the busiest people I ever interviewed.

Dialogue: 0,0:03:48.61,0:03:50.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,she had six children in her spare time.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:50.66,0:03:53.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I was getting in touch with her\Nto set up an interview

Dialogue: 0,0:03:55.82,0:03:57.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I remember it was a Thursday morning,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:57.65,0:03:59.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and she was not available\Nto speak with me.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:59.68,0:04:00.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Of course, right?
Dialogue: 0,0:04:00.86,0:04:03.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But the reason she was\Nunavailable to speak with me
Dialogue: 0,0:04:03.31,0:04:05.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is that she was out for a hike,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:05.27,0:04:07.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because it was a beautiful spring morning,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:07.33,0:04:08.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and she wanted to go for a hike.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:08.92,0:04:11.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So of course this makes me\Neven more intrigued,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:11.28,0:04:14.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and when I finally do catch up with her,\Nshe explains it like this,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:14.48,0:04:16.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,she says, "Listen Laura, everything I do,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:17.59,0:04:21.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,every minute I spend, is my choice."
Dialogue: 0,0:04:21.83,0:04:22.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And rather than say,

Dialogue: 0,0:04:25.89,0:04:31.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,she'd say, "I don't do x, y or z\Nbecause it's not a priority."
Dialogue: 0,0:04:31.71,0:04:36.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"I don't have time," often means\N"It's not a priority."
Dialogue: 0,0:04:37.08,0:04:39.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If you think about it,\Nthat's really more accurate language.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:39.99,0:04:42.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I could tell you I don't have time\Nto dust my blinds,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:42.58,0:04:43.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but that's not true.

Dialogue: 0,0:04:48.90,0:04:50.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Since that is not going to happen,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:50.56,0:04:53.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I can acknowledge this is not\Na matter of lacking time;
Dialogue: 0,0:04:53.18,0:04:54.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it's that I don't want to do it.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:54.81,0:04:58.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Using this language reminds us\Nthat time is a choice.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:58.22,0:04:59.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And granted,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:59.42,0:05:02.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,there may be horrible consequences\Nfor making different choices,

Dialogue: 0,0:05:13.20,0:05:14.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So how do we do that?

Dialogue: 0,0:05:19.53,0:05:21.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Well, first we need\Nto figure out what they are.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:21.87,0:05:24.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I want to give you two strategies\Nfor thinking about this.
