Manage episode 475118228 series 108758
In this episode, Carl takes on the wild, stretchy nature of time—why we can procrastinate for months on a task that only takes minutes. He explores Parkinson’s Law, the mental weight of unfinished tasks, and the surprising productivity gains of adding constraints.
