Manage Your Energy, Not Your Time by Joe Mastey

High-tech culture is obsessed with managing time. In fact, if there’s one thing that we spend as much time on as actual work, it’s getting the most out of that work time.

Put down the kitchen timer, because in this talk you’ll learn about better research-driven approaches to get more out of work and life.
