Do you get discouraged and overwhelmed by a never-ending to-do list? Do you finish your days feeling like you didn’t get anything done?

Maybe it’s time to think about how you manage your time.

MPR News Host Angela Davis talks with her guests about how to reflect, set priorities, plan and create new habits so you can spend more time on what matters.

Guests:

• Theresa Glomb is a professor of organizational behavior and chair of the Work and Organizations Department in the Carlson School of Management at the University of Minnesota. She researches and speaks about how small changes at work can improve performance, meaning and well-being.
• Anna Dearmon Kornick is a time management coach and public speaker based in New Orleans. Her podcast “It’s About Time” has been downloaded nearly 1 million times since it was launched in 2019. She’s also the author of “Time Management Essentials: The Tools You Need to Maximize Your Attention, Energy and Productivity.”

From TikTok trends to Hollywood mergers, the media world is evolving fast.

Most Americans — 83 percent of U.S. adults — use streaming services, according to the Pew Research Center.

Social media is competing with traditional outlets for our attention and trust.

And mergers are reshaping who creates, distributes and profits from the content we watch, read and listen to.

MPR News host Angela Davis talks with a media analyst and a pop culture critic about how technology, business and culture are transforming the media landscape and what it means.

Guests:

• Eric Deggans is TV critic, media analyst and guest host at National Public Radio. Next month, he begins teaching as the Knight Professor of Journalism and Media Ethics at Washington and Lee University in Virginia. His book on how media outlets use racial issues to draw audiences is “Race-Baiter: How the Media Wields Dangerous Words to Divide a Nation.”
• Neal Justin is the pop culture critic for the Minnesota Star Tribune. He is also an adjunct instructor at the University of St. Thomas.

If you’ve been on the fence about whether to get an electric vehicle, now might be a good time to buy or lease one.

A federal tax credit that lowers the cost of EVs is set to expire at the end of September — much earlier than planned. The change is part of President Donald Trump’s major tax and spending bill, which eliminated several incentives for electric vehicles.

EVs have come a long way in the last few years. They made up nearly 8 percent of new cars sold last year in Minnesota and more than 100 electric vehicle models are now for sale in the U.S. (A side-by-side comparison of models can be found here.)

MPR News host Angela Davis talks with her guests about how public funding changes could affect the shift to electric, if now is a good time to swap the pump for a plug, and how far you can really go on a charge.

Guests:

• Jukka Kukkonen is the founder of Shift2Electric, a Minnesota-based electric vehicle consulting and training company. He’s also an instructor at the University of St. Thomas where he teaches courses about the EV market and technologies.
• Katelyn Bocklund is the facilitator of Drive Electric Minnesota, a coalition that works to make electric vehicles more mainstream and easier to use in Minnesota. She’s also a senior program manager of transportation at the nonprofit policy organization Great Plains Institute.
