Episode 33: How Much Time Things Take

I’ve thought it many times. And hear it often from clients.

An obstacle to planning our time is that we don’t know how much time things take.

Surprising but true, this is the very definition of a self-fulfilling prophecy. When we believe it, that’s exactly what we experience.

Inspired by a recent client conversation, we’re going inside the brain, looking step-by-step at how this plays out.

And then we’ll jump into the opposite thought process — that we decide how much time things take.

If there are things you feel like you can’t estimate, or you frequently think you’re bad at predicting how much time things will take, this episode is for you. And truly, it will benefit anyone who wants to know exactly how much time things do and should take up in their calendars.

Thanks for listening.
