Time Management Time

As we grow older we become more aware that time is running out. From the moment we took our first breath we began to die. and our time is more rare than any mineral or dollar bill. The problem is managing it effectively is damn hard to do.

So as myself and the peers from my graduate program plunge into our first weeks of summer internships it seemed appropriate to share a rather beneficial video that came across my observation, and provide some tips toward freeing up some time for exploring.

Randy Pausch, who is a professor at Carnegie Mellon and terminally ill with cancer, gave a speech at the University of Virginia about getting the most out of a day. Usually I’m not one for “motivational talks”, but this is a pretty good. Keep in mind that this man is an engineer so his processes are very precise and perhaps a bit more extreme than most folks can handle, but there are some nuggets to be pulled out that I hope will curb some habits.
