⏱️ Making Time: Creativity over Productivity — with Maria Bowler

How do we stay creative — when there’s so much to do and so much at stake? Today I’m joined by writer, coach, and retreat leader Maria Bowler for a practical and philosophical conversation about: The difference between productivity & creativity Why we don’t want to focus on “being efficient” or “maximizing ROI” How to actually be present (without feeling like you’re just being told to “be present”) The pain of alienation & how it permeates our daily lives Distinguishing between creative friction & oppressive friction Why creating more isn’t about doing less How to stretch time, lose track of it, and be with yourself beyond the clock What Maria thinks about social media this year   If you love this conversation, make sure to get yourself a copy of Maria’s book, Making Time!
