Rethinking Time in a World That Wastes It

“You’re on hold—the music loops. The voice says your call is important. But is your time?”

In this episode of Mind the Gap, Michael Comyn reflects on a moment we’ve all experienced — twenty-five minutes on hold, listening to polite apologies and pan-pipe music — and uses it to explore a deeper question: how much of our time is quietly being taken from us?

Drawing on Stoic philosophy, emotional intelligence, and a modern tool known as the Boston Matrix, this episode is a calm but pointed meditation on how we spend what we can never get back.

If you’ve ever felt a quiet frustration at wasted minutes — or want to reclaim your attention in a world full of demands — this one’s for you.
