You’ve Never Heard of Time Anxiety But You Definitely Have It

In this episode, Chris Guillebeau shares how time anxiety affects nearly everyone—and why naming it might be the first step to freedom. Chris is a New York Times bestselling author known for books like The $100 Startup and The Art of Non-Conformity, and the founder of several beloved communities and events, including the World Domination Summit and Neurodiversion. We dive into his latest book Time Anxiety: The Illusion of Urgency and a Better Way to Live, exploring why productivity often leaves us feeling emptier, not more fulfilled. Chris shares how his own stress around time led him to uncover this nearly universal tension—and why the answer isn’t just doing less, but living more intentionally. If you’ve ever felt like there’s never enough time (and who hasn’t?), this conversation is for you. Some highlights we explore: “I've never heard of that, but I have that.” — Chris on why time anxiety hit a nerve with almost everyone he talked to. A man who flies to nowhere every week – and what it teaches us about practicing joy. The illusion of control – why managing time is often just magical thinking. The eighth day of the week – a practical tool for designing the life you actually want. Enjoy!
