CHRIS GUILLEBEAU - TIME ANXIETY: THE ILLUSION OF URGENCY AND A BETTER WAY TO LIVE

Do you feel like time is running out and you're always one step behind? New York Times bestselling author Chris Guillebeau can help! In his groundbreaking new book Time Anxiety: The Illusion of Urgency and a Better Way to Live Chris reveals that our pervasive sense of time scarcity stems not from a lack of hours in the day but from unrealistic expectations and misaligned priorities.

Chris offers a bold path for redefining our relationship with the clock through practical strategies for breaking free from deadline dread, time guilt, and chronic rushing. Learn how to identify cognitive distortions that make routine tasks feel high-stakes, regulate your nervous system with grounding techniques, and embrace the goal of "good enough" while creating new time rules that better serve you.

Applying the tools found in LifeStyled, you can transform your life, mindset, and schedule with accessible tips and quick wins—little things you can integrate or practice for quick, transformative results. Shira will be sharing actionable tips for how to declutter and simplify your overstuffed life, covering everything from home organization to setting boundaries and implementing better habits.
