I’ve blogged a couple of times about the amazing Randy Pausch, the innovator and academic who is facing death from pancreatic cancer by sharing his life’s wisdom with as many others as he can. And he’s worth listening to. His most recent lecture, given at the University of Virginia on 28 November, is about time management - a particularly important subject for one who knows his time on this plane of existence is limited and who is determined to make the best use of it.

So here’s the video.

On 11 October I posted this about Dr Randy Pausch. Dr Pausch has been diagnosed with terminal cancer of the pancreas. Instead of giving up on life, as I would be tempted to do, he has embraced both his coming death and the time he has left to live life to the full in the most positive and creative way imaginable.

This coming Tuesday (27 November) he’ll be giving a lecture at the University of Virginia on how to get the most out of your time, no matter how much or how little time you have left. The lecture is free and open to the public.

If I were in within reach of the University of Virginia Tuesday afternoon, I know exactly where I would be this coming Tuesday afternoon. But I’ll be in the UK then, so I’m going to watch the lecture online.

His “Last Lecture” was so extraordinarily humorous, inspiring and moving that I really don’t want to miss his Time Management lecture.

You can find links to Randy Pausch’s video lectures, media coverage and his legacy in general here. If you haven’t come across this gem of a man before, watch the video of his Last Lecture.
