The Dark Side of Productivity Myths Exposed

In this episode, Oliver Burkeman gets real with me about the power of embracing limits to unlock a richer, more productive life. We talk about his book, Meditations for Mortals, and unpack why so much of traditional time management is flawed. Instead of chasing perfection, Oliver shows how small, intentional steps and accepting our constraints can actually lead to more freedom and fulfillment. His take on “imperfectionism” and the value of presence offers a fresh way to tackle life’s demands.

Some highlights we explore:

  • Shifting from private doubts to taking small, meaningful actions
  • Using “imperfectionism” to overcome perfectionism’s trap
  • Letting go of control to reduce stress and gain momentum

Enjoy!
