Listen "EP 489: Temporal Bandwidth"
Episode Synopsis
This episode is about the long term—the commitments, projects, and relationships we can work on when our "temporal bandwidth" widens. How we perceive time and our ability to do what's meaningful to us in time does have to be constrained by the urgency of now. There are ways to feel more grounded and create more possibilities at the same time.Footnotes:Read the essay version of this episode.The Steerswoman by Rosemary KirsteinOn Freedom by Timothy SnyderBreaking Bread with the Dead by Alan JacobsHow to Do Nothing by Jenny Odell"Practicing the Future" by Tara McMullin"Wibbly-Wobbly, Timey-Wimey Stuff" by Tara McMullin"Busyness Decoded" by Tara McMullinFind the What Works archives and subscribe to the newsletter at whatworks.fyi.
