Summary
Having a dysfunctional relationship to time can make it difficult to stay present and grounded in each moment. In this episode, I explore the modern syndrome called "hurry sickness", which tends to manifest in the following ways:
- a feeling of always trying to beat the clock (and always keeping an eye on the clock)
- a feeling of never having enough hours in the day
- the compulsion to do more and more in less and less time
- inability to relax at the end of the day or even when you're away from work
- frustration, irritability, anxiety, and stress regarding time and deadlines
- physical symptoms such as muscle aches, tension headaches, insomnia, and restlessness in the body
After examining the different ways in which "hurry sickness" might be showing up in your life, we'll dive into practical and spiritual approaches to heal your relationship to time. Applying the suggestions in this episode will help you feel more expansive, less hurried, and anchored in the present moment.

| 0:43.3 | Welcome to a new episode of Inner Work. |
| 0:49.3 | This is episode number 99 as we inch closer and closer to the podcast's 100th episode. I am working |
| 0:58.5 | behind the scenes to plan something special, maybe something a little bit different to mark |
| 1:04.3 | that occasion. So stay tuned for that. And for this episode, let's get into the matter at hand. Today we're addressing |
| 1:13.4 | the important issue of time urgency, which has also been called hurry sickness. This tends to be |
| 1:20.6 | something that we all experience at some point or another in our Western culture, which |
| 1:26.3 | prioritizes speed, productivity, multitasking, |
| 1:30.7 | getting as many things done as possible in as short a period of time as possible. |
| 1:37.7 | I could say a lot more about our culture's obsession with speed |
| 1:42.4 | and how everything seems to have accelerated exponentially in the last |
| 1:47.8 | few decades. Everything is so fast now. From our internet connections to how quickly we can |
| 1:54.9 | communicate with each other, to fast food, and even the assumptions we now hold about how quickly problems must be solved. |
| 2:04.6 | Any problem that comes up in daily life experiences, we often have the expectation of it having to be solved immediately. |
| 2:14.5 | So there is less and less patience, less room for deep reflection and stillness, less room to come up with solutions and ideas that take time to develop. |
| 2:26.3 | And typically those are the best solutions and ideas, right? So all of these things, these symptoms contribute to the issue and the experience of time urgency. |
| 2:37.0 | Also, just as a quick aside, time urgency is something that people with type A tendencies |
| 2:46.0 | tend to experience more intensely than, let's say, type B, maybe more relaxed personalities. However, time urgency |
