Le Profil de l’Emploi : le premier podcast de LinkedIn France

Most of us are convinced we don’t have enough time. Laura Vanderkam argues that we have enough time, we just aren’t using it with enough intention. This month, we’re revisiting our series of episodes on time, and how we make the most of it. We’re starting here, with the bestselling author of numerous books on time management and the host of the daily four-minute podcast Before Breakfast. 

In this episode, Jessi and Laura discuss:

• Why 5 PM on Thursday is actually the exact midpoint of your week, and what that reveals about the time you’re losing
• How Laura has tracked every half hour of her life since April 2015, and what nine years of data taught her
• The biggest time waster of all (it’s not email or your phone)
• Effortful fun versus effortless fun, and why doing a little of the first before the second changes everything
• Why you should give yourself a bedtime, and how most adults are already getting more sleep than they think
• The case for moving for 10 minutes by 3 PM every day
• Why busy people need a hobby
• The Friday punch list: how batching your small tasks protects your best hours for the work that actually matters

When Lyft CEO David Risher started, he had to let 26% of his team go.

« Our prices when I started were just too high. We weren’t paying drivers enough. »

On this episode of This Is Working, David shares the hard calls he had to make when he became CEO, and how he took the company from losing money to its first full year of profitability.

We also get into why he still drives his own Lyft every six weeks, and the rider conversation that changed how he thinks about pricing.
