About this listen
In a world that glorifies busyness and endless productivity, what if the key to a fulfilling life isn't doing more—but spending your time wisely? Drawing on psychology, philosophy, and personal stories, Steve Johnson dismantles the myths that keep us trapped in the "Someday Syndrome," the tyranny of the urgent, and the illusion of infinite time.
This book is not about time management hacks; it's about time investment—prioritizing what truly matters, embracing the seasons of life, cultivating deep work, and finding joy in missing out (JOMO). With reflective exercises and practical wisdom, it shows how to break free from the cult of busy, design a life of presence and meaning, and live so that when the final grain of sand falls, you've spent it on love, growth, and experiences that endure.
Perfect for anyone feeling overwhelmed, burned out, or stuck in autopilot, and listeners of Oliver Burkeman's Four Thousand Weeks, Cal Newport's Deep Work, or Bill Perkins' Die with Zero.
