I have so much to do - Ep 25

In today's world, it can feel like life is one long to-do list and there's no real place to rest. I recently started reading a book called Making Time by Maria Bowler, [https://www.mariabowler.com/makingtime] which explores this constant pressure as more than just a personal problem. She points to it as a kind of inherited belief, something shaped by culture, religion, and industry that many of us never stopped a question. That got me curious about my own relationship with time and productivity, so I turned inward and explored my own to-do list. This episode's belief is "I have so much to do". I explored it not as a productivity problem to solve or something to manage better, but as a thought to question, a thought that creates pressure, false urgency, and a kind of low grade panic. If you've been feeling overwhelmed or stretched thin, I invite you to listen along as you discover your own insights along with mine. ****** "Your Thoughts at Work" is a podcast that explores explore the beliefs that shape our experience of work, life and sometimes, our whole identity.
