In this episode co-hosted by Luke Chao and Kate Voss, we discuss how we might maturely relate to time. It’s less about time management, and more a philosophy of how one might make the most out of your 16 waking hours in a day:

• Time management is crucial for adults to balance work, leisure, and personal growth, with each person having about 16 waking hours a day to allocate.
• Elon Musk’s time management strategies, such as scheduling in five-minute increments, highlight the importance of valuing each minute, though this level of granularity may not be practical for everyone.
• Time is a non-renewable resource that should be budgeted and spent wisely, similar to money, as it is scarce and valuable.
• Technology and social media can hijack attention and disrupt productivity, but individuals can reclaim control by using tools intentionally and turning off unnecessary notifications and other distractions.
• Setting long-term goals and breaking them down into smaller, manageable tasks can help in effectively managing time and staying motivated.
• The perception of time changes with age, and recognizing its relentless forward movement can help in making better decisions about how to spend it.
• Rest and leisure are essential for well-being and should be intentionally scheduled, as they provide intrinsic value and prevent burnout.
• The hustle and grind culture often undervalues rest and leisure, but these activities are crucial for a balanced and fulfilling life.
• Children, retirees and the generationally wealthy offer valuable perspectives on the importance of play, rest, and non-work activities for overall happiness and well-being.
• Effective time management involves using simple tools like calendars and to-do lists, focusing on simplicity and practicality rather than aesthetics.
