Somewhat related: Oliver Burkeman has some interesting thoughts about time management and how people have this tendencies to schedule too much as a coping mechanism to deny their limitations around the time they have and how much they can accomplish given their constraints.
I didn't read any of his books, but heard him on Sam Harris' podcast/app and found his take interesting and stimulating reflection about my own behaviors. Certainly worth looking up, if you believe you might be affected by similar phenomenon.
- obruchez 4y agoI've read Burkeman's book and heard him on Sam Harris' podcast and app (Waking Up). A lot of people would benefit from his ideas. The core idea being: we think that we need just "a little more time" or "just another productivity hack" to be on top of things, but this is the wrong way to approach things. Creative people will always have too many projects/tasks on their to-do list.
