Episode notes

Attempting to control the future from the present leads to anxiety as time cannot be controlled. While it's fine to plan and steer things in a desired direction, the concept of trying to possess or control time like a resource leads to fallacies. Time is not something to be saved or paused; it is a continuous experience where we live moment by moment. Understanding that we are a part of time, rather than owning it, is crucial for making the best use of it.

In a world of demands, distractions and endless to-do lists, sometimes we can feel overwhelmed by all the things we have to do or want to do leaving us feeling stressed or anxious.

Feel Better Live More Bitesize is my weekly podcast for your mind, body, and heart. Each week I’ll be featuring inspirational stories and practical tips from some of my former guests.

Today’s clip is from episode 260 of the podcast with Oliver Burkeman - journalist and author of the brilliant book Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management For Mortals.

Oliver believes that many of the productivity hacks that we learn are a delusion. Time management doesn’t mean becoming more productive, it means deciding what to neglect.

In this clip, he shares some of his tips to help overcome overwhelm, make better choices, and build a meaningful relationship with time.
