from Mambition · host Tiffany Scott and Alex Morgan
I have a fear of wasting time.This week, my neighbor's dad was given 3 months to live. I sat with them - just talking, letting time pass. Fighting every urge to be productive.Here's what struck me: I live like time is always urgent. But her family would give anything for those 3 months to drag.Time always feels urgent until it really is. Then you just want it to slow down.In this episode:We've mastered discipline - the gym, the work, showing up. But we haven't mastered rest, breaks, doing nothing without guilt.What if this year is for optimizing joy instead of just output?Your next growth might not be doing more. It might be learning to do less - and being okay with it.Time is urgent. Life is short. Maybe BECAUSE of that, we need permission to waste some of it.
