Talk about inspirational! Here’s a great video on time perspective from Philip Zimbardo.
It’s an insightful video about the different time perspectives, or time “zones” that individual people have and how our different perceptions of time affect everything we do. From relationships with family and friends, to the rising rate of boys dropping out of school.
The 10 minute talk is beautifully illustrated with some great graphics, and worth watching for that reason alone. But it will also make you wonder: what’s my time perspective? How does an understanding of such a simple idea such as understanding the differences between other’s time perspective affect the way we work, think, and create?
Watch the video now, tell you boss/friend/co‒worker/spouse that it’s an inspiration assignment.
