Daniel H. Pink

The writing is just step one of a marathon.

The sources bring in insights from author Daniel Pink, who frequently lectures on the mechanics of memorable communication.

Pink advocates for a rule of three when socializing a mission.

Levity, brevity, and repetition.

I had sort of, you know, my side was always on the creativity side.

And, you know, the Ken Robinson talks and even Daniel Pink talking about the future of workplace and how creativity is the human superpower.

And I've always felt as someone who's, you know, from a pure emotional level, loved creativity.

that escapism and immersion in the ideas and the worlds that we can build like it's just something that's given me a huge comfort throughout my life and the ideas i had as a child are still some of the most unique ideas that i've ever had in my life because you're just thinking in such a free way then and i love those characters and those story worlds that i built as a kid i just wanted kids to keep doing that and i felt that the way technology was developing We were not giving them room.

It's interesting.

It makes me think a lot about some of the work from Daniel Pink around types of motivation and that internal locus of control versus external locus of control.

And even, I mean...

It's funny.

Great.

So a coup- two years ago or so, I read a book called The Power of Regret by Daniel Pink.

Phenomenal book.

If you wanna borrow it, you could.

That's what Charata should do.

Charata should be to move forward, to take a next step, to have a tikkun, in the words of the Sforno.

The-- This book, Daniel Pink's book, underneath The Power of Regret, it says how looking backward moves us forward.

That's what Charata should be.

there were just periods of time where there would be gaps and I wouldn't, I would feel like I hadn't done enough just because I have this, you know, desire to achieve and to do things and realize that after reading deep work that, Oh, there are actually maybe an hour and a half to two hours a day where I actually am going to get a deep work done on the rest of service level oh and i'm also not in an office with co-workers so i don't have a water cooler to go to i don't have these things so if i send a message to a friend or i take a brief look at facebook as long as it's not my entire day ranting online about politics or something crazy then it's probably okay to take a breather and do those

things it's probably also productive so then if we add on to it daniel pink and his book win uh we would probably argue that it's productive so so many things i could comment on this so let me just say this One of the things I've discovered in my years of being time management's biggest fan is that time management is actually just a combination of attention management and energy management.

And if you can manage those two things well, turns out you're crushing your time management.

So the other thing, too, if you've not read Cal Newport's other books besides Deep Work.

probably slow productivity and then after that a world without email i love all his books he's great

oh i need to check those out

and check out daniel pink went if it if it um i actually have a book list i can share with you please do of all like i pretty much breathe in books it's uh one of the things that when i when i sort of set on this journey i was like well i know what i don't know and that's a lot so then i was like but i know i can figure it out so i started um i got a subscription to audible and i just started listening to books on my drive to work when i was driving from south knoxville all the way out to harden valley i would listen to books in my 27 minute drive and um it really helped me a lot to just learn everything i could and there's really some great books out there so then i started people eventually would be like you always talk about these books do you have a list and i was like i do now so now i started a list of like all the books i consume and then i always note my favorite time management resources

Yeah, I'm very much the same listening to audio books.

And I know from the work I've done over the last 20 years is, is that we generally have a lot more left brain leaders in organizations than we have right brain leaders.

And if you go back to the book, I think written in the '90s, it's an oldie but a goodie, uh, from Daniel Pink called, um, I think A Whole New, A Whole New Mind: Why White Bra- Why Right Brainers Will Rule the Future, and he talks about these six senses that we need- ...

in, in the new age, and this was in the '90s, right?

Okay.

Thayer would talk about how you basically, you know, many cultures throughout the millenniums, they would pay forward the culture, the, the kind of ethos of what they were trying to create through storytelling.

And he kinda wondered out loud, were we losing that in kinda this age of the information age, et cetera? Interestingly, I did a podcast with Daniel Pink.

As you know, he wrote the book A Whole New Mind, and one of the superpowers of the future that he predicted was storytelling.

So I kinda feel like your time has come because, again, you could download anything via AI now, like, you know, tell me the core components of this book, but there's something about the way the principles seep in through the way that y- you just, you tell a beautiful story, man, and you, you know how to weave it.
