Worrying can take up so much of our time, especially when most of what we worry about never actually happens.
This worrying uses up time that could be better spent on the things that truly count, but how can we reduce this and actually free up that time?
Oliver Burkeman is a New York Times bestselling author of books such as ‘Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals’ and ‘Meditations for Mortals: Four Weeks to Embrace Your Limitations and Make Time for What Counts’. Oliver is also a regular columnist for The Guardian.
Oliver shares:
- 🧬 The evolutionary reason we worry and why it doesn’t serve us effectively in a modern world
- 🤔 Why understanding why we worry is the first step to minimising the amount of time it takes up
- 🛠️ Some key strategies we can all use to reduce our time spent worrying
