7 Time Management Tips for Busy Mortals

Growth Mindset Psychology: The Science of Self-Improvement

The anti-hustle guide to finding a balance that maximises happiness through intention and wisdom.

Optimising every second of your calendar to the nth degree isn't a recipe for dreamlike productivity, it's a collision course for anxiety-riddled burnout. In our era of ever more time demands what are we to do?

Oliver Burkman in his book 4,000 week presents a guide to living as a human being in a messy and demanding environment that allows you to prioritise what's essential in a calm and rational manner. The key is to not forget what else is important in a life well lived besides productive output.

We can't be everywhere and do everything but anything we do commit to takes from the things we don't. Growing old and missing out on a bunch of important non-urgent life goals is not where you want to end up.

This episode discusses the 7 best lessons of wisdom from Oliver Burkmen's book along with some advice from Psychology and Sam's own experiences.
