Stop Overthinking Time and Productivity

De: Jason Miller-Brooks

Narrado por: Lena Morgan-Sullivan, Caleb Foster-Winters

What if your to-do list is full… but you still feel empty?
What if you’ve done everything right—checked every box, hit every goal, answered every email—and still feel disconnected?

This powerful audiobook speaks directly to high achievers, overthinkers, and exhausted perfectionists who can’t stop chasing time—even when it’s silently breaking them.

It reveals why our culture glorifies busyness, how guilt sneaks in when we rest, and what it truly means to feel present again. Through real stories, neuroscience, and emotional insight, this is more than advice—it’s a guide back to yourself.

You’ll discover:

• Why seeing time as a currency is making you feel hollow
• How optimization culture is burning you out from the inside
• Why slowing down feels so hard—and how to retrain your brain to allow it
• How to detach your self-worth from your to-do list
• Simple shifts to reclaim your focus, rest, and inner calm

This isn’t about doing more in less time—it’s about doing less with more intention.

Whether you’re constantly behind, always rushing, or never truly resting, this audiobook will help you reconnect with what matters. It’s a compassionate blueprint to escape the pressure, recover your peace, and finally feel at home in your own life.

If you’ve ever felt like productivity became your personality, or that slowing down feels unsafe, this audiobook will show you a new way forward—one built on clarity, presence, and inner permission.

This is your permission to stop proving and start feeling.
To stop rushing and start living.
You don’t need more hours—you need a new relationship with time.

Finally Felt Permission

For the first time, I didn’t feel like I had to earn the right to rest. That alone was worth the listen.

Chasing Peace, Not Time

I stopped chasing goals for a minute and started chasing calm. It felt unfamiliar at first. But then it felt like home. This audiobook was the nudge I needed.

Not Just Advice

So many books offer surface-level advice. This one digs deeper. It helped me understand why I’ve always been terrified of wasting time, and how that fear has shaped my choices. And for the first time, I felt like I could let go a little.

Gave Me Language

I’ve struggled for years to explain what I feel when I look at the clock and panic—even when nothing’s wrong. This book gave me the words, the tools, and even the courage to stop blaming myself. It’s a quiet kind of powerful.

Why Can’t I Stop?

One sentence stuck with me: “Your nervous system is still in survival, even if your life isn’t.” That was it. That’s why I couldn’t stop. But now that I understand it, I’m finally starting to change.

No More “Perfect Timing”

The idea that there’s never a “perfect” moment used to stress me out. I’d delay things, overprepare, and then still feel behind. That chapter flipped a switch. I’ve started acting instead of hesitating—and I’m noticing how much more alive I feel.

Living in Fast Forward

Everything in my life felt like it was set to 1.5x speed. I didn’t even remember how to be slow. This book showed me how to turn the volume down—not by force, but by awareness.

Quiet But Powerful

That chapter hit me in the chest. I’ve always struggled with saying no, feeling guilty every time. But something shifted when I heard those words. Since then, I’ve set two boundaries I’d been avoiding for months. It’s a small thing—but it changed everything.

Permission To Slow Down

This isn’t about managing your calendar better. It’s about why you’ve come to believe you’re only valuable when you’re doing something. For me, that was a wake-up call. It helped me reframe rest as something deserved—not earned.

Time Was Owning Me

I kept trying to own my time, but it always felt like time owned me. Every break came with guilt. Every delay felt like failure. Listening to this helped me take back that control gently, not aggressively.
