BITESIZE | How to Enjoy Your Life More (Without Getting Everything Done) | Oliver Burkeman

Many of us feel under constant pressure to optimise every moment, to become more efficient, more productive and somehow more worthy. But what if embracing our limits could be the key to living a calmer, more meaningful life?

Feel Better Live More Bitesize is my weekly podcast for your mind, body, and heart. Each week I’ll be featuring inspirational stories and practical tips from some of my former guests.

Today’s clip is from episode 580 of the podcast with journalist and author, the brilliant Oliver Burkeman

In this clip, Oliver shares why the belief that life will finally feel easier once we clear our to-do list is such a persistent illusion, and why we don’t need to wait for life to feel calm or under control before we start living with more intention.
