Episode notes
Anxiety Comes From The Pressure To Do It All
- Most anxiety doesn't come from workload but from believing you must do everything.
- Omar Zenhom summarizes Oliver Burkeman: the fantasy of ever clearing the decks is a lie that fuels perpetual stress.
Do A 28 Day Reflection Practice
- Use a 28-day contained practice to shift perspective and reduce overwhelm.
- Burkeman's book offers 28 daily reflections so the habit is short, doable, and reframes time as finite.
You Only Get A Handful Of Masteries
- You can only do a handful of things very well in life.
- Accepting this finite capacity lets you choose meaningful priorities and stop feeling guilty for not doing everything.
