Series 2, Episode 4 - How a fixation on time management almost broke me, with Professor Abbie Shipp, Texas Christian University

We all have the same number of seconds, minutes, hours and days in a week, yet some people seem to be able to use the time available to them so much better than others. Perhaps they are just naturally good at managing their time, perhaps they are more organised, or perhaps they have simply spent more time analysing and planning what they are going to achieve in their day. However, as Professor Abbie Shipp of Texas Christian University highlights in this episode of the Brain for Business podcast, even experts in time management can develop an unhealthy fixation on time management leading to significant negative consequences for health and well-being. Yet some simple steps to reframe our perspective on time can make a real difference and help us to be happier, healthier and more productive.Dr. Abbie J. Shipp is the M. J. Neeley Professor and Department Chair of the Management & Leadership department at Texas Christian University.
