In this video, the speaker shares 10 tips for effective time management. The first tip is to recognize that we own all of our time and are in control of how we use it. The second tip is to adopt a "Hell Yeah or No" approach to opportunities, only saying yes to things that truly excite us. The third tip is to set a daily highlight, focusing on one important task each day. The fourth tip is to use a to-do list to keep track of tasks. The fifth tip is to use time blocking to schedule tasks into our calendar. The sixth tip is to leverage Parkinson's Law by setting artificial deadlines to increase productivity. The seventh tip is to have protected time, a period of uninterrupted time for personal pursuits. The eighth tip is to delegate tasks that can be done by others for less than the value of our time. The ninth tip is to automate scheduling as much as possible using tools like Calendly. The final tip is to choose to be satisfied with what we accomplish each day, rather than beating ourselves up for not doing more.

The speaker talks about how we often beat ourselves up for not accomplishing everything we planned to do in a day. However, she suggests that we can choose to be satisfied with what we have accomplished and not let negative self-talk affect us.

The computer science of scheduling can provide insights into human struggles with time. Prioritizing work can be time-consuming and lead to a meltdown if the workload increases. Interrupt coalescing, grouping interruptions together based on how long they can wait, can improve productivity and responsiveness. Minimizing context switches can also increase productivity. The Linux operating system replaced a full ranking of tasks with a limited number of priority buckets to spend more time making progress. Sometimes giving up on doing things in the perfect order may be the key to getting them done.
