Episode 98 | VFL Reads: Redeeming Your Time, Part 2

Season 2, Episode 8

September 21, 2022 • Autumn Gardner, Hunter Beaumont

Despite prolific resources on the topic of time management and work-life balance, the ability to manage the many demands placed on our time and to devote ourselves to the worthy pursuits to which we’re called can often feel impossibly out of reach. Author Jordan Raynor offers seven time-management principles, supported by corresponding practices, to help readers thoughtfully respond to the constraints we face and manage our time so that we can be purposeful, present, and productive.

In this episode, Hunter and Autumn discuss principles five, six, and seven offered by Raynor:
- Accept Your “Unipresence”
- Embrace Productive Rest
- Eliminate All Hurry
These principles encourage us to cultivate our capacity to be present where we are and to integrate practices that maximize our time and presence.
