I’ve been really struggling to get a handle on my own time lately. Between everything I need to do, want to do and feel like I should do, it feels impossible to keep up. Why do some people manage demanding careers, families, relationships and personal goals, while others feel like they’re perpetually running out of time?

If you feel like you’re always behind, like there just aren’t enough hours in the day, this episode is for you.

Because when we intentionally prioritize and plan, even the busiest people can find more time for the things they actually care about.

Time management expert @lvanderkam joins me to unpack why so many of us feel constantly busy and overwhelmed… and how to reclaim our time, prioritize the life we want to be living, and build a greater sense of time abundance.

Comment “TIME” and I’ll send you episode 398!

What if the point of life isn't to "optimize" yourself just so that you can race off to the next "very important thing"?

These books stopped me from wasting time, helped me get much clearer on my priorities, and helped me better use and appreciate the time I DO have:

📖 The 5 Types of Wealth, by Sahil Bloom
📖 Big Time, by Laura Vanderkam
📖 Buy Back Your Time, by Dan Martell
📖 80/20 Daily, by Richard Koch
📖 The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry, by John Mark Comer

Time is what your life is MADE OF. So don't waste time. Because it really is the same thing as wasting your life.

Sometimes the most meaningful thing about a morning is that you didn’t miss it.
That was one of my favorite thoughts from my conversation with @lvanderkam on @be4breakfastpod from @iheartmediaofficial
We got very practical: a 30-second microyoga pose after too much time at a computer, a mindful hug, singing while you wash the dishes, everyday lovingkindness, and the cues, rewards, and repetition that can help tiny practices become habits.
We also talked about my own morning routine, and why micropractices aren’t about replacing the longer practices you love. They’re about helping well-being travel with you into the rest of your day.
Listen to “How micropractices make life better, with Eli Susman” on Before Breakfast, from iHeartPodcasts.
If you’d like to go deeper, Micropractice brings together 14 science-backed practices and habit tools to help them stick.
Micropractice is out October 6 wherever you buy books.
