Write Now with Sarah Werner

Hitting Our Limits


Listen Later

I can only write (seriously and deeply) for two to four hours a day, and for years, I thought that meant something was wrong with me. In episode 172 of Write Now, I'm talking about human limitations — what they are, why we're taught to bulldoze through them, and why that approach doesn't always work.
