Many of us feel like we don’t have enough time, so we rush through life, feeling scattered and dissatisfied. On the flip side, we put off things that matter to us because we think we have all the time in the world to get to them.

Dr. Diana Hill shares ideas about:

  • What science shows about happiness and free time
  • Why giving away time gives you more time
  • Three cognitive biases getting in the way of you using your time wisely
  • A simple skill to shift your perception of time and refocus it on the why, what, and how of your values

Listen to this skill-building, wise practice episode to learn how to approach your time differently.
