Do you think you have time anxiety? I honestly had no idea what this was, and I certainly didn't

0:05.9

think I suffered from it, but I was wrong. And I'm going to wager a bet that you struggle with

0:11.3

time anxiety too. We're going to talk about that and so much more in today's podcast. It's a good
