Don’t Lose the Day in Expectation of the Night | It's Not Too Late, But Don't Wait (ft. Chris Guillebeau)

This brief Daily Stoic episode pairs a seasonal reflection with a conversation featuring Chris Guillebeau. Ryan Holiday opens with the image of the clocks changing and the arrival of autumn, setting the stage for a Stoic lesson on resisting the urge to let anxiety about the future darken the present. The discussion then turns to Guillebeau's work on time anxiety, exploring how the chronic feeling of being rushed is often an illusion. Together, they encourage listeners to act on what matters now, without being paralyzed by dread or the false belief that it is too late.
