Using the science of good timing to pass the test, get the job, and live a meaningful life

Using the science of good timing to pass the test, get the job, and live a meaningful lifeUsing the science of good timing to pass the test, get the job, and live a meaningful lifeOne of the worlds foremost thinkers on business and social science,Daniel Pinkis the author of several groundbreaking books on work and behavior, including his most recent bestseller,When The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing.Adam Grantis an organizational psychologist, the top-rated professor at Wharton, and the 1bestselling author ofOriginals How Non-Conformists Move the World. He recently hosted Danielin the latest installment of the AuthorsWharton Speaker Series, wherbeie the two discussed why good timing isnt a mysterious art but a science that can be learned- and perhaps even mastered.Follow Ladders on FlipboardFollow Ladders magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and moraAdamIve read a lot of how-to books, but When is the first when-to book Ive eve r read. One part of the book made me really angry because you wrote that I should take naps. I hate naps- I always feel like a soggy piece of French toast afterward. Why should we take them?DanielWell, theres a rich body of science showing that naps operate as Zambonis for our brain. Over the course of the day, we have all these nicks and scuffs on our mental ice, and naps smooth those out.You seem to have a rigidly anti-nap ideology, but heres the thing- back in the day, I had the same view of naps as you did. When I would take a nap, I would wake up feeling bad and French toast-like. I would also wake up feeling deeply ashamed of myself because I felt like napping was some kind of moralische verfassung weakness.What I discovered is that I was doing it wrong. There is a better way to nap. What the research tells us is that the best naps are really short- 10 to 20 minutes long. Thats it. Beyond that is sleep inertia- what you describe as French toast- where you sleep so long that yo u have to dig your way out of the negative effectbefore getting the positive effect. So super-short naps are the best.The single best nap you can have, bang for the buck, is the following I will sit in a chair, put on noise-canceling headphones, and put my feet on a little ottoman. Then, I will have a cup of coffee, down it pretty quickly. Then Ill set the timer on my phone for 25 minutes, and I will close my eyes.Now, I can usually fall asleep in 10 to 12 minutes. Lets say I fall asleep in 12 minutes- that gives me a nap of 13 minutes. Thats pretty good, actually its in the 10 to the 20-minute sweet spot.But heres where it gets interesting. It takes about 25 minutes for caffeine to get into our bloodstream. So remember that coffee that I had? Just as Im waking up- minus the sleep inertia- I get that hit of caffeine I get a ersatzdarsteller-whammy. Thats the scientifically ideal nap, and its called a Nappuccino. I encourage you to take one.AdamI do like the way you describe it, even though I still cant imagine waking up feeling refreshed.So is there a when on naps? Is there a right time to take one?DanielA lot of the research on the when of doing stuff gives us not Do this at this particular time for this amount of time, but broader design principles that we can apply to our life.Basically, people often go through the day like this a peak, a trough, and a recovery. Thats our pattern of mood, and also our pattern of performance in some intriguing ways. For 80% of us, our pattern goes up, it goes down, it goes back up again.Now in the recovery stage, you see elevated mood and less vigilance. That makes it a good time for brainstorming, and other things where you want be a little bit looser. Weve all been in brainstorming sessions where someone is hypervigilant, saying, Thats a stupid idea, thats a stupid idea, thats a stupid idea. In the recovery stage, higher mood and less vigilance make ita good time for creative work.The research is telling us that we need to put a little more attention on doing the right work at the right time of day, because our cognitive abilities change throughout the day- and they change in significant but predictable ways. If we do our analytic work during the peak, our administrative work during the trough, and our creative work during the recovery, we can do a little bit better. Theres research showing that time of day explains about 20% of the variance in how people perform on cognitive tasks. Thats a big deal.Think about what else explains variance in how people perform- some people are smarter than others. Some people are more conscientious than others. Some people have more advantages. But timing- thats something you can do something about.AdamYou wrote about some standardized tests that are staggering.DanielIts unbelievable. In Denmark, students take their standardized tests on computers, but the typical Danish school has more students than computers, so not everyone can take the test at the same time.Two D anish researchers looked at two million standardized test scores in Denmark, and what they found is that students who take the test in the morning score significantly better than students who take the test in the afternoon. In fact, taking the test in the afternoon is equivalent to missing two weeks of school.Its an Oh wow fact for two reasons. One, we are making policy based on standardized tests, and theres such a heavy effect of time of day. And two, were making decisions about these kids based on their standardized test score, when maybe they had been randomly assigned to take the test earlier or later in the day. Its kind of terrifying.AdamTheres a bunch of people thinking, Hey, I wasted a lot of money on test prep. I couldve just shifted the hour of the day.DanielNot a bad idea. Im getting email from people who are taking certification exams saying, When should I take it? If you take a test in the morning, its not like youre guaranteed to do well. But if youre a morning person and you have a 10% option of getting a great score, you can maybe dial it up to 13% if you take it in the morning. Its still an 87% chance youre not gonna do well, but Ill take that jump from 10% to 13%. Its a 30% increase Over time, those things really pay off.AdamWe cant always control the time that we get scheduled to take a test or interview for a job. But theres an interesting shift in the data with one group of students who take a test at the wrong time but still do better.DanielOh yeah, this is actually a remedy for a lot of what happens during that daily dip. If you give those kids a 20-30 minute break, and they run around the playground, their scores not only go back up, but go a little bit higher.I was blown away by the research on breaks. And you can extend this into things like recess, where you have many school districts pulling back on recess in the anthroponym of raising standardized test scores, in fact, you might want to do the exact opposite.AdamIm curious, what a re we supposed to be doing during our breaks? Adult recess?DanielThats not a terrible idea, actually. We should be taking more breaks, and the kinds of breaks we should be taking is one of those areas where it distills very nicely into some design principles.Heres what we know- number one something is better than nothing. A one- or two-minute break is better than no break at all. The second thing is that moving is better than being stationary. Outside is better than inside. The research has been around for a while- the replenishing effects of nature are just amazing.This is a really interesting one social is better than solo. Breaks with other people are more restorative than breaks on our own, even with introverts.And then the brde one fully detached beats semi-detached. So you want to leave your phone behind, you want to not talk about work- you just want to detach. And in terms of length, it can be 10 or 15 minutes.So there is a Platonic ideal a ten-minute break with friends, wal king around outside, leaving your phone behind, and talking about something other than work.Theres research showing that time of day explains about 20% of the variance in how people perform on cognitive tasks. Thats a big deal.AdamShifting gears, I think theres some bigger questions about life decisions here. Growing up, my mom always told me that everything in life is timing- you can meet the same person but not fall in love with them if you met them at the wrong time.And I hated hearing that, because it means that so much of our lives is out of our control. And yet youre saying there are things that you can control. Like timing a job interview for example- could you talk to us about when its best to be the first candidate interviewed versus taking the last slot?DanielOn the first point, what your mother is talking about is essentially fortune, circumstance, luck- and thats a big factor in our lives. We dont like thinking about that, we dont like talking about the utter randomness of the things that happen to us. Its disturbing. But there are some things we can control.Lets talk about job interviews- theres a sequence effect. Most jurisdictions for voting have randomized ballots, but theres a huge advantage of being first on a ballot. When else is it of value to go first? Its better to go first when you are not the default candidate.A lot of times, decision makers have a default in their back pocket. For things that are kind of binary- yes or no- the default answer usually is no. If you go ask a boss for a raise, the default answer is no- your boss has no in her back pocket. If youre in sales and you ask somebody to buy something, the default answer is no. If you ask somebody out for a date, the default answer is no.So when are people likely to overcome the default? Theyre more likely to overcome the default earlier in the day than later. So if youre first and youre not the default candidate, you have a little bit of an edge.If there arent that many candidate s, going first has an advantage. If there are limited candidates and strong candidates, youre also better off going first because of the Gamblers Fallacy, which is saying, I flipped a coin four times and it was heads, heads, heads, heads The next time I flip, it cant possibly be heads againThe Gamblers Fallacy in decision making is that somebody sees, Great candidate, great candidate, great candidate The fourth? Well, I cant have four great candidates in a row, so Im actually going to mark down the fourth one. So amongst a limited number of strong candidates, youre better off going first.If you are the default, youre better off going toward the end. Because later in the day, in general, people will lean toward the default decision. Youre also better off going last if there are a lot of candidates, due to the recency effect.The thing that is probably most germane for real life is that if the decision makers are not totally clear on the criteria, youre better off going later. Because a lot of decision makers- even in job interviews- will use those first interviews to figure out what it is they want. So they basically use the other people to establish their criteria, and then you come along Ah, thats what I was looking forThose are some rules of thumb, and again, you need to recognize that youre just turning the dial. Youre increasing probability by a few points. But if you can increase your probability from 12% to 17% and you go on eight interviews, thats pretty good.AdamSo lets say Ive taken my first job out of college or MBA program, and then I have to decide when to leave that job. How do I decide when to quit?DanielPeople are most likely to quit on the one-year, two-year, three-year anniversary of their job, these zeitlich markers.At the most satisfying jobs, people have control, and theyre challenging. So think about a job that is in your control but not challenging- youre bored. Think about a job that is not in your control but is challenging- youre going to burn out. Think about a job thats neither- youre just adrift. A job thats both in your control and challenging is a good job.So project out to your anniversary and think, Which of these squares will I be in? If you cant get to the right square, then I think its time to consider leaving.The other thing that comes out is the research on the salary benefits of switching jobs, which was surprising to me. Take two similarly situated people, Fred and Ed. They both graduated from college, theyre the same level of ability, but Fred graduates in a recession, Ed graduates in a boom. That shows up in their wages literally 20 years later- Fred is still behind. The unemployment rate when you graduate from college is a predictor of what your wages will be 20 years later, which is terrifying.Why is this going on? What matters really is that Fred has far less mobility than Ed. Ed takes a job, and Ed is looking for the right match for his skills. You dont usually get that right away, so you will often switch to figure out, Oh, this is what Im good at, this is what Im not good at. Switch. Oh I stink at that, but Im pretty good at that. Switch. That allows you to find the right work for your skills.Some people have more advantages. But timing- thats something you can do something about.Also, within those changes is a pay increase. So Ed finds his way to the right match for his skills far earlier, which leads to the higher wages. Whereas Fred says, This is a terrible match. I want to leave, but the labor market is too muddy- I cant do that. So Im going to stay at this job, then when the labor market finally tightens up, I can move. Hes not making these matching moves as quickly- hes already lost a couple of years, and it adds up in a fairly terrifying way.AdamSo Ed was doing more job-hopping and getting a higher salary- the data suggests that Ed is going to be richer, but less happy. Emily Bianchi has these studies that show people who graduate during economic recessions are h appier with their jobs 20 years later because theyre grateful to have jobs, and the people who graduate during a boom are like, Wow, I could have a much better job. My life is terrible. So can you help us get both wealth and satisfaction?DanielUm, no- I think thats actually a really good point. In a tighter job market where there are more opportunities and more hopping, you inevitably trigger social comparison, which corrodes our sense of well-being. If youre in a situation where you are lucky to just have a job, you had the career equivalent of a near-death experience, and youre grateful. Youre satisfied with what you have.I think theres a way to square the circle here, which basically has the benefits of economic success, but uses other techniques to mitigate or dampen the social comparison aspect.You actually offered up one technique to me when we were together once. Its basically, Dont compare yourself, because I dont care how well you do, theres always someone whos doing better . So instead of comparing yourself to others, compare yourself to yourself five years ago. I think thats actually really healthy. That could be a decent way of saying, Hey, even though Joe Schmutz over there worked for a hedge fund and is now a gazillionaire, Im a lot better than I was five years ago. Im actually making a decent living and supporting my family.Also, focus on other virtues besides money. Focus on,Do I have meaningful relationships?

5 Ways Women Can Ditch the Overwhelm and Build a Career

5 Ways Women Can Ditch the Overwhelm and Build a Career5 Ways Women Can Ditch the Overwhelm and Build a Career5 Ways Women Can Ditch the Overwhelm and Build a CareerIt welchesnt long ago when women were expected to stay home and take care of the children and household while men went to work to bring home the bacon. In 1952, barely 30% of women held jobs. Now, they make up nearly half the U.S. labor forcean estimated 41 million wage earners.Even mora, approximately 6.2 million women own their own companies, contributing nearly $2.4 trillion to the economy. So, women are not only bringing home the bacon, theyre frying it up as well.Lynn Weiner, a dean at Chicagos Roosevelt University, wrote about the history of the female labor force in her study, From Working Girl to Working Mother. She notes that before World War II, working women were mainly single, fresh off the farm, and working in factories. Today, theyre more likely to be harried mothers, madly juggling business meetings with ki ds day-care schedules. Juggling multiple responsibilities of family and a career can overwhelm even the most ambitious woman if shes not careful. So, how can we manage our career paths and advance in our careers if were overwhelmed in our current situations?Here are five keys to managing all of that while building your career1)Identify and Maintain a Clear Path. Many of my female clients tell me, I just want a job. Who can be picky in this economy? While its true that balance and flexibility are required in these challenging times, totally abandoning your career goals for just a job is counterproductive. Set a goal and take definitive steps toward it. In the long run, employers will ask you why you took a job as a credit repair specialist when what you really wanted was to be a public health educator. Ultimately, it will take you even longer to reach your goal because you stepped off the path.2)Take Small Steps Toward Your Goal. Looking down the road at owning your own business migh t be a bit intimidating. Since you have already mapped out your plan (right?), take tiny steps along the path youve already identified. Learn about and identify the best business structure identify partners, officers, or board members decide on a mission for the business, develop a marketing plan, etc. One step at a time3)Set Deadlines. Setting deadlines to complete the tasks youve mapped out helps you stay on top of each item thats necessary to move you closer to your goal. Decide on a time frame and stick to it. Do you need to enroll in that business course by July to reserve your seat for the fall semester? Have you said you would file incorporation papers for your business by January 15? The sense of accomplishment you feel as you meet each deadline will keep you motivated to continue.4)Join Forces. Find support by joining organizations of women who have similar ambitions. Three such groups areAdvancing Women provides career and business strategy, tools, and resources to support your career, business, and leadership goals.Women of Vision Empowerment Network provides untersttzung from professional coaches through online resources.eWomenNetwork provides a comprehensive suite of services to help women market and promote themselves.5)Dont Forget Family. Sometimes, we get so busy reaching for our goals that we forget those we want to be standing with us when we get there. Dont forget to schedule time with your children and spouse. Mini-dates, game nights, or even involving them in your activities is important. I have had my daughter serve as intern for a day in my office. She felt grown up, and we got to spend time together while I worked. Reaching your goals is much more fulfilling when you have someone to share them with.

Look at Their Job History and Social ActivityYou can get a good idea of an individuals character and work ethic by taking a look at their previous job experiences and verbunden social profiles especially LinkedIn.

Startups can have high risks, but also high rewards, and people flexible enough to deal with those challenges are typically the ones that will thrive in the startup environment.- Steven Newlon, SYN3RGY Creative Group 3. Decide Whether They Can See a Project Through to CompletionAre they simply ready do the whole job and not delegate everything to a team they manage? In a startup environment, every employee must complete tasks below their pay grade from time to time. If they understand this and truly are willing to do the work, then they might be a good fit for a s tartup. If they have any hesitation about it at all, dont hire them.- Marty McDonald, Bad Rhino Inc 4. See If They Are Prepared to Work Outside Their Comfort ZoneKey early employees need to be specialists, but they have to be okay with occasionally working outside their comfort zone. This includes tasks or duties that are both above and below their equivalent role at a large company.

Ask About Their fruchtwein Menial JobStartups involve a lot of really exciting, important work. At the same time, there is a fair amount of mundane, boring work that is often done by people who are overqualified to do it, simply because there are so few people at the company.

From their answer, youll be able to quickly gauge whether or not theyre down for anything.- Lisa Cu rtis, Kuli Kuli 6. I Was UnemployableI never chose to be an entrepreneur, but I have grown to become one despite who I was. I realized early on that I make a terrible employee because Im impatient to work for someone elses dream. I am a great team player when Im working on something Im crazy passionate about. Otherwise, I would be a frustrating person to manage. Entrepreneurship suits my type of personality well.- Julian Flores, GetOutfitted, Inc.

Costly Health Savings Account Mistakes

Costly Health Savings Account MistakesCostly Health Savings Account MistakesA Health Savings Account is more than just a way to save for future medical expenses. It can also yield certain tax advantages, while potentially shoring up your retirement strategy. Thats important, considering that the average 65-year-old couple will spend approximately $275,000 on health care in retirement. That figure doesnt include the cost of long-term care, which can add thousands of dollars to the total. Medicare can pick up the tab for some of your health care costs in retirement, but it doesnt titelseite everything, including long-term care. Thats where an HSA can be invaluable. You can withdraw funds from your HSA tax-free for qualified medical expenses. And, you can also tap your HSA for other financial needs- with a tax caveat, of course. If youve got access to a Health Savings Account, its important to make sure youre using it to its full advantage. That begins with avoiding these common mistake s. Confusing an HSA With an FSA A Flexible Spending Arrangement is another type of tax-advantaged savings account for health care. While the abbreviations for FSAs and HSAs are similar, there are some important differences to be aware of if your employer gives you the option of using either plan. First, an HSA allows you to save more for health care. For 2017, pre-tax contributions to an FSA are capped at $2,600. With an HSA, you can contribute $3,400 if you have coverage and $6,750 for family coverage. The HSA limits are set to climb to $3,450 and $6,900, respectively, in 2018. So why is that important? FSA contributions reduce your taxable wages, while HSA contributions are tax-deductible. Either way, you get a tax break but if you max out your HSA, that could yield a larger tax benefit at the end of the year. The other thing to know is that FSA contributions dont roll over from year to year. With an HSA, however, you can leave the money in your account until you need it. That means you dont have to frantically try to spend down those contributions each year. Instead, you can allow them to grow. Assuming an HSA Isnt Worth It If Youre Older If youre already in your 50s, you might think to contribute to an HSA is worth your time. At this point, for instance, you may be focused on playing catch-up with your 401(k) plan or an individual retirement account. That doesnt mean, however, that you cant still leverage an HSA later in life. Assume that youre 50 years old and contribute $6,000 a year to an HSA, until you reach age 65. (Remember, you can no longer contribute to an HSA once you enroll in Medicare.) Assuming you earn a 3 percent annual return and fall into the 25 percent tax bracket, you could accumulate roughly $115,000 for health care costs on a tax-deferred basis. Even if you save less than that, every dollaryou put away could be used to offset medical costs in your later years. Missing Out onEmployer Matching Contributions A 401(k) isnt the only way to snag some free money in the form of a company match. Employers also have the option of offering a matching contribution to employee Health Savings Accounts. The catch is that total contributions to the account- including what you and your employer put in- cant exceed your annual contribution limit. That means if you have individual coverage for 2017 and your employer matches 100 percent of what you save, you could contribute $1,700 and your employer could match the same amount. Your plans matching structure might be different but its worth checking your plan to see if a match is available, since that reduces the amount you have to save. Not Thinking Big Picture The primary function of an HSA is to help you enjoy some tax benefits while savingmoney for health care costs down the line. Thats not, however, the only way to use HSA funds. Once you reach age 65, you can withdraw money from an HSA for any purpose, with no penalty. You would, however, have to pay ordinary in come tax on anything you withdraw that isnt used for medical purposes. Thatsimportant to know, especially if you havent poured as much money into your employers retirement plan or an IRAas you would have liked. Even if you dont end up needing to draw on an HSA to cover living expenses in retirement, it can ease your peace of mind to know that the money is there if you need it. Not Knowing What Health Care Expenses an HSA Can Be Used For An HSA can be used to pay for health care but it doesnt cover everything. If you mistakenly use HSA funds to pay for a non-eligible cost, that can create a tax bite. Youll owe regular income tax on the money, plus a 20 percent additional tax penalty if youre under age 65. Bottom line? If youve got a Health Savings Account, be sure to read over the details of your plan carefully so you know whats covered and whats not. And dont count an HSA out if youre older, or if you have other accounts that youre using to saving for retirement. If you stay hea lthy, an HSA could help to supplement anything else youre setting aside in tax-advantaged or taxable brokerage accounts.
