Ever avoided a task, only to finally do it and realize it took only a few minutes? Or been totally confident you had enough time, only to find out it took much longer than you thought? If yes, you've been a victim of time blindness, and it affects so many of us. In this episode, we talk about what time blindness really is, the stress and shame it can cause, and simple strategies you can start using right away.

What you'll learn:

  • Why time blindness goes both ways β€” things can take longer or shorter than you expect
  • A simple expression you can say to stop yourself from over-scheduling
  • A tip to beat procrastination (one you won't hear a lot!)

If you're always running late, dreading tasks that turn out to be easy, or beating yourself up for not managing time better, this episode will help you understand why it happens and give you practical tools to start working with it instead of against it.
