Shownotes
Most of us feel we have too much to do and not enough time to do it. The Stoics had a different diagnosis: the problem is rarely a shortage of time, it is how much of it we hand away without noticing.
In this episode I draw on Marcus Aurelius, Seneca and Epictetus to make the case for spending your attention on what actually matters and letting the rest go. We look at why a finite life is a gift rather than a threat, the question Marcus asked himself to stay focused, how the dichotomy of control frees you from worrying about things you cannot change, why discomfort is often a sign you are doing the work that counts, and the one step you can take today to get your focus back.
