Why You Wake Up Feeling Behind (And How to Fix It) | Oliver Burkeman

Ever wake up already feeling behind, before the emails, before school drop-off, before anything has actually gone wrong? In this episode, Ryan talks with Oliver Burkeman, bestselling author of 4,000 Weeks and Meditations for Mortals, about that “back foot” feeling so many parents live in. Ryan and Oliver talk about why we give our best energy to trivial things, why we say yes when we mean no, and how a small shift in how we think about time and trade-offs can change the tone of an entire day.Oliver Burkeman is the author of the New York Times bestseller Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals, The Antidote: Happiness for People Who Can’t Stand Positive Thinking, and Meditations for Mortals. Follow Oliver on Instagram and X @OliverBurkeman📚 Pick up a copy of Four Thousand Weeks by Oliver Burkeman at The Painted Porch: https://www.thepaintedporch.com/🎥 Watch the full episode here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnMP-e66w28👉 Give yourself the ultimate gift of parenting tools, structure, and community.
