There’s more to time than hours and minutes, days and weeks, deadlines and alarms. It’s easy to let calendars and tick tocks govern our days. This is known as clock-time. But there’s another temporal style: event-time. We find flow and move from task to task when it feels right, not when the clock tells us to. One scheduling style is not always better than the other. Clock-time comes in clutch for efficiency, but it can kill creativity. Based on the evidence, it makes sense to toggle our approach based on what we’re working on: is it a standardized task or a tough problem to crack? Of course, this is easier said than done. Sometimes we opt for the wrong approach, but most of the time we may just let our natural styles dominate. So, what’s your natural style: would you consider yourself a clock timer or event timer? Or both?! Highly recommend you check out the resources linked in bio (both popular press and academic articles). The experimental evidence on the behaviors and performance of clock vs. event timers is fascinating!!! ********** #doodle #doodlesofinstagram #doodleart #art #artistsoninstagram #cartoon #illustration #drawing #worklife #time #calendar #schedules #clocktime #eventtime #schedules #busy #creativity #innovation #flow #flowstate #productivity #wellbeingatwork #psychology #workpsychology #organizationalbehavior
