after I listen the second time, i think the correct answer for the 1st one is CEF. Correct?
I think "the deal with advisor" was talked previously, not today.

CORRECT ANSWERS FROM SIMON:
1. C, E, F
2. money, time
3. principle
Note:
"A" is wrong because he talks about 'goal setting' (planning), not 'achieving'.
"B" is wrong because it's about AVOIDING wasting time.
"D" is wrong because his original talk was about dealing with an advisor, but he says that he has expanded the talk to make it more general.

It seems like that our answers for questions 2 & 3 are quite identical.
For question 1:
A) how to achieve your goals
(Wrong: "How to set goals", not achieve goals)
B) how to waste time
(Wrong: "How to avoid wasting time", not waste time)
C) how to deal with your boss
(Right)
D) how to deal with your advisor
(Wrong: "Originally this talk was how to deal with your advisor, but i try to broaden it, so it's not quite so academically focused. ")
E) how to delegate
(Right)
F) how to cope with stress
(Right)
