Why Are We Still Doing That? - Episode 3

Optimizing out all of the things in your life that bring joy in pursuit of efficiency and productivity, "why are we still doing that?"

As you now know, every month we are tackling a topic related to building a life you don’t need a break from. We do that by asking the question “why are we still doing that?” about some outmoded idea or past-its-fresh-by-date tradition. In this episode, we’re continuing our conversation about redefining success.

In this episode, we’re talking about how society’s obsession with hyper-efficiency is stealing our joy and how to reclaim it through intentional living. We’re sharing insights on how to shift your mindset and live a richer, more fulfilling life, including such hits as:

  • How outsourcing isn’t the key to more time.

  • Why chores – like making your own oatmeal (we’re dead serious) and simple tasks can bring true joy.

  • The link between hyper-productivity and declining health.

All that, and a little soap-box moment about why the pursuit of more money is really about freedom, in a tight 13:34. How efficient!
