#89-The Myth of Catching Up

About this episode

This week, Bret and Josh take on one of adulthood’s biggest lies: the idea that we’ll eventually “catch up.” From inbox-zero fantasies to the promise that life will slow down after just one more thing, they unpack why being “done” no longer exists—and why that’s not a personal failure.


It’s a light, funny look at modern life, endless to-do lists, and the relief that comes from realizing there was never a finish line in the first place.
