About this episode

Here’s a short riff on a section from Time Warrior by Steve Chandler about alleged “time management” problems.
Highlights
- Time Warrior: How to defeat procrastination, people-pleasing, self-doubt, over-commitment, broken promises and chaos by Steve Chandler
- “Time management” is a misnomer
- When people say they have difficulty managing their time there’s usually something deeper going on
- Most people have no problem managing their time to be on a commercial airplane when it leaves
- When we have a mission we are committed to we rarely have problems “managing time” well
- What is your mission your overarching purpose?
- What are you committed to?
