The Urgent & The Important
On a recent podcast with Andrew Huberman, Tim Ferriss discussed how he prioritizes his time. “Unless you schedule these things that you claim to be important, they’re going to get crowded out by bullsh*t… The urgent will crush the important.” That hit me right in the gut. I can easily succumb to someone else’s demands […]
Mindfulness Methods: Linger Longer
The Theta State During the first 7-8 years of life, children spend most of their time in the theta state. Theta is a specific brain wave that, when produced, makes us especially present, creative and impressionable.
