Why Having Less Time Makes You More Dangerous
10m | Feb 10, 2026Let’s talk about why having less time can actually make us sharper, more decisive, and way more effective.
Why do deadlines suddenly unlock a level of intensity we didn’t know we had? And why does “busy” so often fool us into thinking we’re making progress when we’re not?
Today I walk through a mental shift that completely reframes how work gets done, especially for entrepreneurs and high performers. Along the way, I share a wild story involving a billionaire, impossible timelines, and an extreme example of urgency in action.
If you’ve ever said, “I’ll do it when I have more time,” this episode challenges that belief head-on. What if the problem isn’t a lack of time, but too much of it?
