Managing Time to Reduce Stress and Achieve What Matters, with Brad Aeon

Business Habitat with Sam Dean

In Episode 118 of The Business Habitat podcast, Sam is joined by time management researcher and expert on time, Brad Aeon, to delve into the philosophy of time and how it can be better managed by aligning to your personal goals.

In his 2017 TEDx Talk, “The Philosophy of Time Management”, Brad urges the audience to reflect on their relationship with time and live more mindfully by focusing on what’s really important to them as individuals. In this conversation, Sam and Brad explore this concept further by considering what time management really means, and Brad explains that how we use our time is a reflection of our values, beliefs and philosophies.

Exploring beyond the impact on productivity, task management, and the need to “get things done”, Brad looks at time from the perspective of mental and physical well-being, and how poor time management leads to stress and ‘very clear markers of time pressure’.

In order to better understand the reasoning behind this, Sam and Brad discuss the evolution of time as a social construct, and the sense of structure that measuring and recording time lends into. Brad explains the three major pillars of a meaningful life, and how effective time management plays a critical role in our ultimate well-being.

Recognising that time is a non-renewable resource and therefore one of the most precious gifts you can give somebody, we are grateful for the gift that Brad gives us in this episode and the practical advice he provides in how to better manage our time. We invite you to invest your own precious time in listening to Brad’s words of wisdom, and possibly gaining a new perspective on time.
