Why Doing More Is Keeping You Stuck and What to Do Instead | David Epstein

David Epstein joins Eric to discuss why adding more to our lives often leaves us stuck rather than productive. Drawing on his book Inside the Box: How Constraints Make Us Better, Epstein argues that unlimited freedom can be surprisingly paralyzing and that well-chosen limits, routines, and boundaries free up attention and spark creativity. He and Eric talk about protecting your attention, identifying real bottlenecks, and consolidating commitments around what matters before your to-do list is finished.
