Description

We often think of time as something we manage, but what if our relationship with time is managing us?


In this episode, we explore time poverty as more than a scheduling issue: it’s a psychological, cultural, and physiological phenomenon that shapes how we live, train, and recover.


From the neuroscience of cognitive overload to the cultural obsession with busyness as a status symbol, we unpack why so many of us feel like we never have enough time and how that perception impacts our health, motivation, and sense of self.


You’ll also learn evidence-based tools to reframe your relationship with time; including values-based scheduling, time blocking as a form of nervous system regulation, and a reflective exercise that helps you reconnect with the moments that matter.
