Listen Later

In this episode, Paul Looman explains the meaning of surfing the waves of time and how we can start finding balance in a busy world. He shares insights from his 40 years of Zen practice and his work helping individuals and groups find calm amidst chaos. We discuss how traditional time management techniques often fall short and why a more intuitive approach can lead to greater productivity and peace of mind.

Key Takeaways:

  • The connection between Zen practice and effective time management
  • How to transition from control to trust in managing our time
  • The importance of doing one thing at a time and truly finishing it
  • Creating “breathers” between activities to enhance creativity and clarity
  • Transforming tasks into manageable items
  • Observing and working with background mental programs like worry and hurt
  • Developing and trusting our intuition for prioritizing tasks
