The Dark Side of Productivity Myths Exposed

A smiling man in a blue shirt, positioned against a black background with bold white text on the right that reads "STOP WASTING TIME." In the upper right corner, a yellow box contains the logo "The Chase Jarvis LIVE Show." The image has a bright yellow border.
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.

Time Management Is Dead—Here’s What Actually Works

A shattered red clock with broken glass pieces flying outward, symbolizing the concept of breaking free from traditional time management constraints. The image is paired with the bold yellow text: 'The Chase Jarvis LIVE Show' with the word 'Show' crossed out, suggesting a redefinition of the format.
"There’s nothing noble or romantic about being busy. It just means you don’t have your shit together... all of us can live with a more expansive sense of time right now regardless of our circumstances simply by making some important choices and taking some specific actions in our lives."

Hustle Culture: The Silent Killer of Ambition

On the left side, the show's logo is prominently displayed, with "THE CHASE JARVIS LIVE SHOW" in bold black text inside yellow rectangles, stacked vertically. To the right of the logo, the image depicts a dark, moody scene inside a room at night. A wooden table is at the center, on which a laptop is placed. The laptop is on fire, with flames engulfing the screen and keyboard, casting a warm glow on the surrounding area. The room has large windows with potted plants on the windowsill, and there is a radiator beneath the window. The lighting in the room contrasts with the fire's bright, intense glow, creating a dramatic effect.

How to Stop Doing the Things You Hate

Entrepreneur Derek Sivers said it best: If you’re not saying “HELL YEAH” to something, it’s a no.
