Fields evolve.

Math has evolved massively with technology over the years.

That's just how these things work.

Can we all just chill out?

All right, that's my final plea.

All right, that's all we have for this week.

I'll be back on Monday with an advice episode of this show.

That's where I give advice about how you can join.

the fight for depth in a distracted world.

Sign up for my newsletter at calnewport.com if you want my personal dispatches about what I'm currently thinking about in this fight for depth in a distracted world.

And most Thursdays, I have an AI reality check episode.

So probably next Thursday, I'll have another one of these because God knows there's a lot of claims that require a little bit of reality to be injected into it.

All right, that's it for today.

Remember to care about AI, but not everything you read about it.

if you ask most people how they feel about their schedule they'll say their biggest problem is that they don't have enough time busyness is often cast as the scourge of our current moment the villain that is keeping us from cultivating deep lives

But is this time scarcity narrative correct?

Well, today is Monday, which means it's time for an advice episode of this show, which is the perfect opportunity to take a closer look at this question.

Now, to help me in this exploration, I'll be joined by my friend Laura Vanderkam, who has a new book out titled Big Time, A Simple Path to Time Abundance.

Now, Laura has been making waves recently by arguing that the story we tell ourselves about not having enough free time is more about mindset than reality, that we actually have more time to work with than we realize if we can adjust habitually.

how we approach our schedules and our expectation for our schedules.
