Who needs more time?

What if the goal was never to get everything done? In this episode, Anna Jelen, The Time Expert, explores our obsession with finishing, catching up, and finally getting life under control. From burning her own to-do list to a deeply personal memory of her father, Anna asks what might happen if we stopped chasing an imaginary finish line and learned to say: enough for today. Because maybe a good life isn't one where everything gets done, but one where we don't miss the beautiful parts along the way. Stay tuned for the last 7 minutes: in "AnnA unscripted", Anna shares honestly where she is in life right now, and something that fascinates her: momentum. A question to take with you What would you do with today if you knew it would never all get done? Shownotes: In this episode - Why the to-do list never ends, and why that's not a personal failure - The day Anna burned her own to-do list - A personal memory of her father, and what really matters in the end - Why technology promised us more time but gave us more to do - The moments we actually remember, and why they're rarely the productive ones - Learning to say "enough for today" - AnnA unscripted: Anna's current life and her fascination with momentum Links: www.annajelen.com Instagram (german): https://www.instagram.com/zeitmitanna Instagram ( English): https://www.instagram.com/annathetimeexpert The TEDx Speech: https://www.ted.com/talks/anna_jelen_3_ways_to_create_golden_moments
