What if everything didn’t really need to get done? What if this sense of urgency you have is an illusion? I want you to listen to Chris Giullibeau. He has taken a hard look at this strange way we view and manage our time and has some startling revelations that should make you feel a lot better.

I'm Amy Nicholson, the film critic for the LA Times.
And I'm Paul Scheer, an actor, writer, and director. You might know me from The League, Veep, or my non-eligible for Academy Award role in Twisters.
We come together to host Unspooled, a podcast where we talk about good movies, critical hits.
Fan favorites, must-sees, and in case you missed them. We're talking Parasite to Home Alone. From Grease to the Dark Knight.
So if you love movies like we do, come along on our cinematic adventure.
Listen to Unspooled wherever you get your podcasts.
And don't forget to hit the follow button.
Today on Something You Should Know, a way to instantly be more persuasive in any situation. Then, how to stop that feeling of time anxiety and take back control of your time.
I walk out of movie theaters. If I don't like the movie, I'll leave. I'll sit down at restaurants, and if I don't like the menu, I'll get up and go somewhere else. It doesn't matter if I've already sat down. And I think it might feel a little bit strange to some people at first, but it's going to also bring you relief, and you're going to feel proud of yourself.
