To-Do List Freedom

To-Do List Freedom

We are often told that if we accomplish as much as possible in a day’s time we’ll feel fulfilled come day’s end.  Enter to-do lists, which provide focus, direction, and purpose. But action doesn’t always equal progress; it’s no surprise, then, that so many of us feel drained and dissatisfied once the sun goes down.

On today’s show: how to find freedom in your to-do list and (finally!) make room for peace, connection, and fulfillment.

Here’s a preview:

Saying No To New

New things are everywhere—and they’re causing us to disconnect from what we value most.

In a world that constantly tells us that new is better, our relentless pursuit of material wealth is costing us money, time and happiness. Worse, when we define ourselves by what we own rather than who we are, we reduce our lives to a single, superficial dimension.

On today’s show, New York Times journalist Eric Athas offers advice for stepping away from the cycle of constant buying, saying no to shallowness, and discovering the right kind of “new” in our lives.

Here's a preview:

[8:00] We're wired to become bored the familiar, and other truths to newness

[16:00] Consumption has costs! (In fact, it robs us of our finite attention, dilutes our capacity for genuine enjoyment, and misaligns our pursuit of happiness.)

[26:00] Musings on the ways in which overconsumption leads to superficiality

[37:00] Put down the trinket! Redefining what it means to experience novelty, growth, and freshness without relying on a transaction
