When The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing

This is an activity that comes from the book When by Daniel Pink.

He's been on the podcast. You can listen to his episode as well. We talked about this book, and it's a book about the art of timing.

I'm going to put the answer to that in more of the mundane category. The reason for, the impetus for it was just frustration, more than anything else.

And so I said, well, there's got to be some guidance out there on, on like when we should do things.

And it turned out there was a huge amount of research on this question, but it was splattered all over the place.

It was in literally two dozen different domains.

And then more episodically, how beginnings affect us, how midpoints affect us, how endings affect us.

And actually I was really happy when I saw this in a brilliant book called When by Daniel Pink.

And he actually helps you figure out when you're most analytical, when you're most insightful, when you're best making an impression and when you're best to make a decision.

In your book, When the Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing, you give a lot of advice on how to maximize our motivation and take care of ourselves in this incredibly fast paced, always on world that we live.

And unfortunately, we're often very intentional about what we do. We're intentional about how we do it and who we do it with. But when it comes to when we do stuff, we're not intentional and we should be because it actually matters.

I initially in that book on timing, I was gonna write about maybe two pages on breaks in the chapter on this hidden pattern of the day. And there was so much research and so good research that I ended up writing an entire chapter on breaks.

I actually think Dan Pink's book When, which is all about timing your day and rank is like really really fantastic for creatives because it seems like a really simple concept but I think he does a really good job talking about how as people we all have these different sort of rhythms to how our days work and you actually just want to lean into those rhythms right.

Today we'll explore the idea that timing is everything; the problem is we just don't know that much about timing itself.

It's called 'When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing'.

It's really unfair to people who are just slightly younger than me, literally a couple of years behind, who went to law school or any type of career start. They really took a huge economic hit.

It's scary, I think that's really scary.

I wish we had time to get into all of that, but we'll leave some for the folks at home to enjoy when they pick up the book, of course, as well.

I highly recommended [Dan Pink's books]. He has four best sellers including the one we'll be discussing today entitled 'When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing'.

We find that humans are wired for time. Can you give us a brief overview of how we are wired for time, the SCN circadian rhythm type of thing?

In the book and that we talked about on the show, there's a lot to be said for even a 5, 10, 15, or ideally 20-minute break, whether or not you can nap in the middle of your day.
