Episode Details

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. With practical tools like the two-minute rule and a three-hour workday experiment, Carl invites you to test the "time illusion" for yourself and reclaim your attention, energy, and calendar.
