[Making Changes]: You DO Have the Time to Do the Things You Want–Here’s Where It’s Hiding, Ep. 880

Finding the Throughline with Kate Hanley

Take my one-question survey! (Thank you!)

One of the most common barriers to making a positive change is time.

We tell ourselves things like “I just don’t have time” or “there aren’t enough hours in the day,” and over time, telling yourself that you don’t have enough time to do the things you want and need to do creates a feeling of what behavioral economists call ‘time poverty.’

The paradox is that choosing to do the things you want to do makes you feel like you have more time (‘time affluence’), not less. Today I’m sharing HOW to claim that time and start feeling like the George Jefferson of time. (“Moo-hoovin’ on up!” 🎵)
