description: Everyone knows that timing is everything. But we don't know much about timing itself. Our lives are a never-ending stream of when decisions: when to start a business schedule a class get serious about a person. Yet we make those decisions based on intuition and guesswork.Timing it's often assumed is an art. In When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing Pink shows that timing is really a science.Drawing on a rich trove of research from psychology biology and economics Pink reveals how best to live work and succeed. How can we use the hidden patterns of the day to build the ideal schedule? Why do certain breaks dramatically improve student test scores? How can we turn a stumbling beginning into a fresh start? Why should we avoid going to the hospital in the afternoon? Why is singing in time with other people as good for you as exercise? And what is the ideal time to quit a job switch careers or get married?
