Shownotes

Our lives are short—really short. And there’s never enough time.

That’s the challenge: not enough time, but more choices than we can imagine. No wonder so many of us feel anxious about the years ahead.

In this episode, Daniel Sih and Matt Bain explore how we think about time, how we use it, and how to make peace with our limits.

They also introduce the AWARE framework to help you make progress without adding more—or battling against the time you have left.

You can also explore previous seasons of The Spacemakers wherever you listen.
