Timing is everything | Daniel Pink on the best time for meetings, taking breaks and creative breakthroughs

When you set a goal, what do you focus on? Odds are, you put most
of your energy towards how you will achieve the results you’re
after. But what if you shifted that focus from the how to the
when. What if timing was that important? What if good timing
could not only enhance your performance - it could actually give
you the edge that you need to achieve your goal?


Welcome back to the Peak Performer season of the Tony Robbins
Podcast. Today, we have a very special guest - New York Times
bestselling author and one of the most influential business minds
of our time, Daniel Pink.


Dan is widely regarded as one of the foremost thinkers in
behavioral sciences. He’s upended conventional wisdom about what
gives people drive and motivation. He’s challenged the value that
society places on left brain over right brain skills. And he’s
dispelled preconceived notions about what really makes a great
salesman.


His latest work is no exception. In When: The Scientific Secrets
of Perfect Timing - Dan offers profound insight into the
importance of timing - and why most businesses, and most
employees, really get it wrong.


Dan and I sit down and discuss the science behind timing - how it
impacts your cognitive abilities, your mood, your state. And he
reveals the secrets of how good timing can help you become the
most efficient, effective version of yourself. And how business
owners can leverage the time of day to create an optimal working
environment for their employees.


Consider this episode a wake-up call. So that you can not only
gain more clarity on why it’s not just about what you are doing,
it’s really about when you are doing it that can make all the
difference - letting you become the best version of yourself at
work and at home.
