00:26:59 ◼   ► what I don't put on the calendar of [TS]

00:27:00 ◼   ► things like edit cortex-m because for me [TS]

00:27:04 ◼   ► that doesn't need to happen at a [TS]

00:27:05 ◼   ► specific time that is a task for me and [TS]

00:27:08 ◼   ► I will have it trigger a certain time [TS]

00:27:10 ◼   ► and only focus to tell me to start doing [TS]

00:27:12 ◼   ► it then and then I will do it then if i [TS]

00:27:14 ◼   ► can do it right then I'll move it around [TS]

00:27:16 ◼   ► so i use ice use those two things very [TS]

00:27:19 ◼   ► differently and I considered anything [TS]

00:27:22 ◼   ► that's a task anything that requires a [TS]

00:27:24 ◼   ► completion will go and only focus [TS]

00:27:27 ◼   ► anything that is happening at that fixed [TS]

00:27:29 ◼   ► time because you've agreed it was [TS]

00:27:30 ◼   ► somebody else goes in my calendar [TS]

00:27:33 ◼   ► mm that's my calendaring philosophy [TS]

00:27:36 ◼   ► yeah so this this to me sounds like it [TS]

00:27:39 ◼   ► lines up very closely with what is the [TS]

00:27:43 ◼   ► strict getting things done [TS]

00:27:45 ◼   ► interpretation of calendaring which is [TS]

00:27:48 ◼   ► only events that happen at a specific [TS]

00:27:52 ◼   ► time where there is an external [TS]

00:27:55 ◼   ► requirement in the world that you be [TS]

00:27:58 ◼   ► doing something at exactly that time and [TS]

00:28:01 ◼   ► so the rest of your calendar is [TS]

00:28:02 ◼   ► presumably clear-rite nothing is nothing [TS]

00:28:05 ◼   ► is listed on there [TS]

00:28:06 ◼   ► exactly and it sounds this is almost [TS]

00:28:09 ◼   ► sounds like a dumb thing to say like how [TS]

00:28:10 ◼   ► you put appointments on a calendar but i [TS]

00:28:12 ◼   ► think a really important thing to keep [TS]

00:28:15 ◼   ► in mind is just like to be [TS]

00:28:17 ◼   ► very clear on what is this tool for what [TS]

00:28:23 ◼   ► is it not for and so yes if if if you [TS]

00:28:28 ◼   ► don't want to put something like editing [TS]

00:28:30 ◼   ► cortex on the calendar that's quite a [TS]

00:28:32 ◼   ► reasonable thing to do because you think [TS]

00:28:34 ◼   ► like okay well this can happen at almost [TS]

00:28:37 ◼   ► any time whether it like it is not the [TS]

00:28:39 ◼   ► same thing as like if we didn't we know [TS]

00:28:41 ◼   ► we're recording an unusual time this [TS]

00:28:43 ◼   ► this week if we didn't record this [TS]

00:28:47 ◼   ► record this episode for maybe another [TS]

00:28:49 ◼   ► week because of scheduling conflicts [TS]

00:28:51 ◼   ► between the two of us coming up like [TS]

00:28:52 ◼   ► this has to happen right now so it has [TS]

00:28:55 ◼   ► to be on the calendar but there's tons [TS]

00:28:57 ◼   ► of stuff with doesn't have to happen at [TS]

00:28:58 ◼   ► a specific time and that is the like I [TS]

00:29:02 ◼   ► said that is the getting things done [TS]

00:29:04 ◼   ► interpretation of calendars and so when [TS]

00:29:07 ◼   ► I used to have a life that was much more [TS]

00:29:08 ◼   ► like yours when i was working as a [TS]

00:29:10 ◼   ► teacher I would do the same thing of [TS]

00:29:12 ◼   ► like okay I'm going to have all of my [TS]

00:29:15 ◼   ► classes that I teach they're going to be [TS]

00:29:17 ◼   ► on calendars any appointments or [TS]

00:29:19 ◼   ► meetings or anything like that that is [TS]

00:29:21 ◼   ► all on the calendars but the spaces [TS]

00:29:24 ◼   ► between classes were almost always just [TS]

00:29:26 ◼   ► clear and I would do the same thing that [TS]

00:29:29 ◼   ► you would do is like okay I have a task [TS]

00:29:31 ◼   ► list i have a bunch of checklist of [TS]

00:29:32 ◼   ► things that I want to do during the day [TS]

00:29:34 ◼   ► and any space on the calendar that it's [TS]

00:29:36 ◼   ► clear that's when i'd switch tools and [TS]

00:29:38 ◼   ► say okay I'm not using the calendar i'm [TS]

00:29:41 ◼   ► now switching to the task list which is [TS]

00:29:43 ◼   ► presenting me a bunch of things to do [TS]

00:29:45 ◼   ► and i'm going to try to grind through as [TS]

00:29:47 ◼   ► many of those as possible and then [TS]

00:29:49 ◼   ► because the calendars electronic like [TS]

00:29:51 ◼   ► it'll beep you when something comes up [TS]

00:29:53 ◼   ► on the landscape of like okay and now i [TS]

00:29:55 ◼   ► need to you know prepare for this class [TS]

00:29:57 ◼   ► or go to this dumb meeting and that kind [TS]

00:30:00 ◼   ► of thing but they're two different tools [TS]

00:30:21 ◼   ► one day and then left it and it's [TS]
