About this listen

In this episode, William shares a powerful yet simple Stoic question from Marcus Aurelius that can cut through modern distractions like TikTok, YouTube, and endless scrolling. Learn how this practical tool, drawn from the Meditations, can help you overcome procrastination, sharpen your focus, and reclaim your time.

William explains how Marcus used this very question to confront his own fears and vices, and how we too can use it to live more intentionally. Discover why the Stoics didn’t label things like social media or entertainment as good or bad, but instead taught us to judge by how we use them.

If you want to align your life with Stoic wisdom and make better use of your time, this episode is your guide.
