Have a clear vision of the five laws of time.
00:00:09
These laws will change the way you plan and organize your work.
00:00:16
An American aerospace engineer.
00:00:18
This law is also known as the law of maximum struggle.
00:00:22
If something must go wrong,
00:00:24
that's what will happen.
00:00:26
Murphy's law gave birth to the precautionary principle.
00:00:30
Nothing is as easy as you've imagined it at the beginning.
00:00:34
Any new experience will create its
00:00:36
share of obstacles and unexpected interruptions.
00:00:41
how does this law impact the organization of work?
00:00:45
It reminds us that we tend to underestimate the time needed to do a certain job
00:00:50
considering the obstacles,
00:00:53
annoyances that will mark our path.
00:00:57
when you start a task,
00:00:59
estimate the time you will spend doing it.
00:01:01
If it is a familiar task,
00:01:03
add 20% of time to your planning.
00:01:06
If it's a new job,
00:01:08
add 40% of necessary time to your planning.
00:01:11
You will be ready to face any Murphyian challenge.
00:01:16
Parkinson's law,
00:01:17
British historian and essayist.
00:01:20
He argues that all work ends up occupying the time assigned to it.
00:01:25
If you assigned 1 day to finish a job,
00:01:28
it will be done in one day.
00:01:30
If you set yourself a week,
00:01:32
it will take a whole week.
00:01:34
By observing his co-workers,
00:01:36
Parkinson realized that their number increased by
00:01:39
6% every year regardless of the objectives.
00:01:44
Maintaining that their work expands throughout the whole duration
00:01:48
of the available time,
00:01:49
he goes as far as to say that
00:01:51
it is the busiest man who has the most free time
00:01:55
in order to limit Parkinson's law,
00:01:57
otherwise called law of gasses that are spreading,
00:02:01
set realistic deadlines and make constant assessments
00:02:04
to measure the progress of the projects.
00:02:07
You probably notice that Parkinson's law and Murphy's
00:02:10
law are hardly consistent with one another.
00:02:13
It's up to you to decide when it's better to give more time
00:02:21
A Swedish economist nowadays,
00:02:24
an executive is disrupted every 12 minutes on average.
00:02:29
These interruptions generate a drop in productivity and an increase in errors.
00:02:34
According to research by Carlson.
00:02:36
A job done continuously takes less time and energy
00:02:40
than when it is done in several parts.
00:02:43
Carlson therefore suggests limiting interruptions,
00:02:47
protecting yourself from time consumers,
00:02:50
grouping the tasks of the same nature,
00:02:53
and avoiding multitasking and zapping in and out of tasks.
00:03:01
Austrian philosopher,
00:03:03
critical of industrial society and a bit anti-Sakanovist.
00:03:09
among other things,
00:03:10
that applying pressure on employees will stress them out
00:03:14
and increase the possibility of having an opposite outcome
00:03:17
of what was expected.
00:03:19
It is better to take a break and resume work afterwards with more efficiency.
00:03:25
Same goes for the lunch break at work,
00:03:28
which he advises against skipping with the
00:03:31
illusion that it will increase productivity.
00:03:33
On the contrary,
00:03:35
people who don't go on their lunch break will be less efficient.
00:03:38
After a certain number of hours,
00:03:40
efficiency decreases and concentration becomes more difficult.
00:03:45
To explain and understand this law,
00:03:48
some management specialists concluded that work
00:03:51
meetings should not exceed one hour.
00:03:54
Each person has their resistance threshold and optimal concentration.
00:03:59
Get to know yourself.
00:04:00
Better and do not confuse quantity and quality of work.
00:04:06
by wanting to accomplish too much,
00:04:08
you end up doing it badly.
00:04:13
Italian economist and sociologist.
00:04:16
His law is also known under the name of the 2080 rule,
00:04:22
a principle that applies to a large number of fields including.
00:04:27
Efficiency at work.
00:04:29
20% of clients represent 80% of revenues.
00:04:34
20% of the population holds 80% of the wealth.
00:04:38
20% of clients bring 80% of the problems.
00:04:43
of products generate 80% of turnover and
00:04:47
20% of our activities represent 80% of our results.
00:04:52
This law suggests that you sort out your activities.
00:04:55
What are the tasks to be dropped
00:04:59
You might as well concentrate on your 20% core business,
00:05:03
what we know we can do correctly,
00:05:06
the work that brings an 80% return on investment,
00:05:10
then getting scattered in your job.
00:05:13
in accordance with Paretto's law,
00:05:15
it is crucial to prioritize by separating the urgent and the important
00:05:21
to learn when to say no and to know how to delegate.
00:05:25
A small question in regards to this law.
00:05:27
If you only had to work 20% of the usual work time,
00:05:31
let's say 2 hours a day,
00:05:33
what are the tasks that you would keep?
00:05:35
What is essential?
00:05:37
So we have seen the 5 laws of time which to me are essential.
00:05:44
everything takes longer than expected
00:05:46
because of the uncertainties along the way.
00:05:48
Parkinson's law,
00:05:50
the more time we have to achieve something,
00:05:52
the longer we take.
00:05:55
Doing a job continuously takes less time than doing in several parts.
00:06:01
after a certain number of hours,
00:06:03
efficiency decreases and concentration drops,
00:06:07
and Pareto's law,
00:06:08
20% of our activities produce 80% of our results.
