From the course: When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing (Blinkist Summary)

Timing is everything

- [Announcer] This is an audio course. No need to watch, just listen. - [Instructor] Daniel H Pink, "When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing." As Miles Davis once said, "time Isn't the main thing, it's the only thing." While he was likely talking about music, and not the day to day affairs of students and professionals the statement nonetheless applies to all of us. We spend much of our lives trying to be on time, meet deadlines, and get the most efficient results out of what time we have. We spend so much of our life living by the clock that as you'll learn in these blinks, there's a very strong emotional pattern that most of us exist in from Monday to Friday. You'll also get a glimpse into the vast amount of research conducted on why we do certain things when we do them. And just how important timing is to us. Even if you pride yourself on not living the nine to five lifestyle, in these blinks, you're still likely to find a great deal of insight into human nature.
