#381 - The Real Reason Planning Is Hard
Summary
Kendra Adachi explores the deep-seated reasons behind our struggles with planning, drawing from her new book, "The Plan." She argues that the problem isn't personal inadequacy but stems from a "productivity industrial complex" that drives constant striving, perpetuated by historical and societal factors. The episode delves into how this complex impacts everyone, particularly women, who face additional burdens and expectations. Ultimately, it promises a compassionate, actionable alternative to traditional time management.Episode description
We’re into compassionate time management around here, but it’s not just pep talks and high fives. We’re practical and kind, but we’re also educated. We are trying to understand why we struggle with time management, why we own so many planners, why we never feel like we’re doing enough, and even if we finally have let that go, we still struggle against the tide of everyone else making us feel bad for our beliefs.
Basically, the problem is not you, and today I’m going to show you why by reading you the first chapter in my new book, out October 8, called The PLAN.
- Pre-order my new book The PLAN or ask your library to consider carrying a copy once it releases in October.
