3 Great TED Talks on Productivity and Time Management
Sometimes it’s nice to engage with some of our other senses and today I’m going to allow TED Talks to literally do the talking! For those of you unfamiliar with TED Talks, TED stands for Technology, Entertainment and Design and are a series of free short talks which now cover almost every subject you can think of! It’s a great resource for new ideas, quirky thoughts and for stretching your imagination.
So, go grab yourself a coffee, or plug in those ear plugs, sit back and enjoy these three entertaining and sometimes humorous talks covering productivity and time management. I promise you won’t be disappointed!
Inside the Mind of a Master Procrastinator
This hilarious talk from Tim Urban covers the topic of procrastination from the guy who has it down to a tee! It’s funny and really hits the mark. If you’ve ever procrastinated, you’ll recognise yourself here!
How to Gain Control of Your Free Time
A challenging talk from author Laura Vanderkam who claims that there is enough time to do the things we want. Giving in to “I’m too busy!” just doesn’t cut it with Laura! She also offers up some useful actionable steps to get more of what you want into your life. Check it out and see if you agree with Laura’s views.
The Happy Secret to Better Work
Another very funny talk about how being happy can actually increase our productivity. Shawn Achor is author of The Happiness Advantage (amazing book, definitely one to check out!) and positive psychology advocate and through this talk encourages us to look at productivity through a positive lens. You won’t want to miss this talk both for its innate message and also because it’s very entertaining!

I am always looking for resources that help with productivity and time management. There is no such thing as being “too” productive. 🙂
