In this episode of A Changed Mind podcast, David Bayer explores the transformative concept of how we perceive and utilize time. He begins by introducing Parkinson’s Law, which states that work expands to fill the time allotted for its completion. However, the inverse is also true: limiting time for tasks can lead to greater efficiency. Through personal anecdotes, including his journey from addiction recovery to entrepreneurship, David illustrates how prioritizing essential activities reshaped his life and created space for more productivity and fulfillment.

He emphasizes the importance of prioritizing activities that nourish our well-being, like meditation, personal care, or spending time with loved ones, which often reorganize our lives to enhance efficiency in other areas. This episode blends insights from neuroscience, behavioral psychology, and practical experience to challenge the fixed mindset about time and offers actionable strategies for achieving a “36-hour day.” By inserting meaningful activities into our schedules, we can transform our thinking, emotions, and productivity, proving that we can indeed have it all.
