a. Certain events and contexts have different ways of reckoning proper timingb. Measured by kairos and chronosi. Kairos is contrasted with term chronos that refer to timing and timeliness of punctualityii. Theres not a clock you use to judge a proper timing of speech or rhetorical timing- theres just a certain way of just knowing- same for religion, its just you and Godiii. Chronos exampleswhen adults knew it was 12 and were ready to go just by knowing it was 12 at churchiv. Kairos- timelinessv. Kairos= considered event time, the event determines the timeb. Ex/ kairos versus chronos- Dr. Ballard moved here and was asst professor- tenure track is rigorous and intense- 6 yr long process- she wanted a dog really badly- so she was waiting to have a dog again- but 3 and ½ years is into she had to get a dog- at first it was chronos, it was just the logical/human time- but one day she just said she wasn’t going to wait anymore and that aws kairos- the event – dogs name was kairos= theres just a right time for certain thingsi. It was literally a physical line around a military prison- if you crossed that line you would be killedii. The line beyond which any prisoner who ventured would be shotiii. We feel so much anxiety bc we are taking it in in that real intense way that the deadline/activity matters**iv. Deadlines make it very real and intense for usv. In some cases it can push us to wanting to engage- when you have activity that’s that intense it can lead you to want to avoidvi. So rather it being this activity (waking up, brush teeth)- but with project and deadline we have punctuated equilibrium= where first half of project you are finding your way/experimenting with diff approachesvii. And somewhere about half way through deadline they pull together and orient and find a new approach to meet itviii. So majority of activity occurs in the second half***ix. Ex/ she knows if she assigns project- we will do most of the work after halfway to the deadline- in groups its even more common**x. For groups- really show this- bc some individuals more routinely work on it, some way till very last, and most wait in the middle- so in groups corals around punctuated equilibrium*i. In work situations- That can be in short-term or long-term in the bigger picture1. The tendency that’s commonly held- have to hold a confident belief that one’s own project will go as plans2. This happens a lot in big plans3. Ex/ Like grand openings- big intensity with regard to money- later you open, more it costs you bc you aren’t recouping your investment-4. So over and over we are optimistic about how well we can carry out a given activity even though it may not have worked in past…we feel like we can do it this time*5. One of the reasons we might be delayed**6. Reason why it doesn’t work when it comes to big projects is because life is full of contingencies1. They give example of little old lady who needs to go to post office for stamps- but it can take the entire day bc its all she has to do- but we know it doesn’t have to take that long2. So we sometimes want to give ourselves a defined amt of time for project, bc if you don’t you may feel like you are wasting a lot of time by not pushing3. Reason it works against us sometimesif we have long list of things to do and we don’t push ourselves toward we need to get something done for a certain date4. We run out of time1. We would prefer to do other things that are easier and more pleasant2. SOMETIMES not just because of more pleasant things…sometimes caused by Perfectionism= 4th “P”-3. Perfectionism is not ideal4. Reason they procrastinate more is because perfection is a future imagined state…it never existed- so no way to actually plan well- if goal is to be perfect or nothing- where do you go with that, theres no road mapVII. What they believe is biggest pitfall to personal and/or organizational productivity?a. Christine- lack of planning- lack of routineb. Robby- agree with Christine, but also the little tasks we do all day that don’t take up much of time- easy to let your day get filled by them (emails, checking messages, new tab for facebook) people underestimate how much they all add up toc. Alex- biggest problem is starting tasks and making decisions deplete glucose in brain- everytime you make yourself do something you don’t want to do (start a hard task, email you don’t want to write) blood glucose in brain drops, so making decisions exhausts you in same way that doing something you don’t want to do exhaust you- combo of thoseVIII. What philosophy/rational drives approaches they have developed?a. Christine- Robby saying that little things eat up our day- her philosophy= doing one small thing that allows you to take on more the next day- she likes to do one thing for herself, everyday, a nice thing (planning something, making time to go to yoga, etc) – its motivation, motivation you get from doing small things- it’s a mental state and a conservation of energy (if she can do one small act that checks off boxes of other spaces shes working on, that’s where she focuses her time and energy)b. Robby- to Christine if she does consolidate efforts, only some stuff left over- how do you make that work?i. She will move things from inbox to priority folderii. Bunching things together to get through them quickerc. Christine- by compartmentalizing she feels small sense of completion (she files emails and puts them in appropriate folders, even though she wont answer till tomorrow)Productivity based on sleep patternsd. Robby- used to track his physical activity and sleep patterns and matched with RescueTime datae. On days he gets less than 6 hours his general productivity, but specifically he spends a lot of time in emailf. Coding and design projects take long focus time- to want to be in the zoneCMS 372T Lecture 16Outline of Last Lecture I. PunctualityOutline of Current Lecture II. Keeping TimeIII.
