About the Book

A powerful antidote to deadline dread, time guilt, and chronic rushing--from the New York Times bestselling author of The $100 Startup

In a world obsessed with squeezing the most out of every moment, the fear of falling behind can trap us in a paralyzing stress cycle. Incomplete to-do lists, unanswered emails, and unmet life goals haunt our thoughts, leaving us overstimulated and exhausted.

In Time Anxiety, Chris Guillebeau, author of the popular newsletter A Year of Mental Health, reveals that this pervasive sense of time scarcity stems not from a lack of hours in the day but from unrealistic expectations and misaligned priorities. Weaving together eye-opening research on time perception, executive functioning challenges, and the psychological roots of avoidance, he offers a bold path for redefining our relationship with the clock.

The first step is to build a tolerance for incomplete to-do lists and the inevitability of disappointing people, abandoning the goal of "catching up." We have to set our own limits because no one else will. From there, Guillebeau guides readers through a process of:

  • Identifying cognitive distortions that make routine tasks feel high-stakes, regulating the nervous system through grounding techniques and breathwork, and embracing the goal of "good enough"
  • Uncovering the unwritten "time rules" that govern our days ("I return phone calls within an hour" or "I reply to every email the same day, without exception") and creating new rules that better serve us
  • Weighing the tradeoffs between competing values and priorities so we can invest our finite energy wisely, operating out of an empowered rather than a fear-based state

Ultimately, Time Anxiety is a call to wake up from the trance of busyness and reclaim our most precious resource. By breaking the habits of overstressing, overdoing, and underliving, we can start savoring our limited time on earth.
