How To Slow Down Time: Hidden psychology to improve productivity & reduce overwhelm

Expand your perception of experience and build more flow and joy into your daily life.

Many people hate time, it is a constant enemy we fight against. Yet it is simply a continuous element of the Universe that we can't change. However, like illusions that can make a straight line seem bent in our minds, we can use our own mind to bend time for ourselves.

This episode expands on several psychological phenomena to help you build a better relationship with time:

Live a life that feels longer, richer and deeper

Reframe feelings of anxiety

Build your ability to focus, be productive, and do your best work

It's an absolute favourite topic of Sam's and an episode he is sure you'll love.
