Description

Why does it always feel like there aren’t enough hours in the day to get work done? How did we come to see time as a resource we could manipulate and exploit? Why does achieving “inbox zero” come with bragging rights? And how has the belief that we can command and control time totally warped not only our personal lives, but also our working lives? These are just a few of the brain-expanding questions we tease apart in this episode with guest Oliver Burkeman, the best-selling author of Four Thousand Weeks. Together, we explore what we don’t talk about when we talk about modern time management.
