In this episode of Math! Science! History!, Gabrielle Birchak explores how mathematics and science can help us master the one resource we can't manufacture, time. From the Shortest Path Problem in geometry to the Pareto Principle in physics and productivity, Gabrielle uncovers how optimization, energy management, and practical habits can transform the way we work, think, and live. This five-minute Flashcard episode blends logic, science, and real-world wisdom for anyone who wants to save time, and maybe feel a little like a time traveler.

Three Time Saving Techniques:

  1. How the math of optimization teaches us to find the smartest, most efficient route.
  2. How physics and the 80/20 rule show us to manage energy instead of just minutes.
  3. How real-world strategies like the Two-Minute Rule, Time Blocking, and Habit Stacking turn theory into daily success.
