In today's episode, we explore the concept of how the sense of time affects our mindset with guest Oliver Burkeman, author of the book "4000 Weeks".We delve into several traps that creative professionals often fall into due to this awareness of limited time, such as procrastination, the efficiency trap, and the fear of missing out (FOMO). Burkeman offers strategies to counter these tendencies, including embracing the joy of missing out (JOMO) and focusing on fewer but more meaningful endeavors.Furthermore, we discuss the distinction between mapping (planning), making (doing the work), and meshing (personal development), stressing the need for balance among these three types of work to maximize our creative output.Key Learnings:Finite Time Awareness: Recognizing our limited lifespan helps us focus on what truly matters.Overcome Procrastination: Beginning a project can be intimidating, but it’s essential to move past the fear of losing control.Efficiency Trap: Simply making processes more efficient can lead to more tasks and overwhelm; balance is key.Joy of Missing Out (JOMO): Embracing the joy of missing out can liberate us from the fear of missing out, leading to more focused and meaningful work.Balanced Work Types: Balancing mapping, making, and meshing leads to effective and fulfilling creative endeavors.Get full interviews, daily episodes, courses, and more at DailyCreative.app. Mentioned in this episode:NEW BOOK!
