Ever wished you had an extra hour each day? (Spoiler: you don’t need one!)
In this episode of Books and Beyond, Tara chats with Apekshit Khare, HR professional and author of The Time Energy Toolkit, about why the problem isn’t our 24 hours, it’s how we use our energy.
Apekshit breaks down the very real time struggles we face in India, from social expectations to nonstop notifications, and shares small, doable shifts that actually work. Think: finding your purpose, setting chill social media boundaries, and using tech without letting it hijack your day.
He also shares fun, practical tools like the “day catalog,” his go-to method for tracking where your time and energy really go. Plus, we get into his love for playing the sitar, how side passions keep him grounded, the story of getting published with Westland, and what he’s working on next.
Tune in for an episode that’s equal parts helpful and hopeful, all about feeling less burnt out and more in control of your day.
