Episode 625: Time Poverty: One of Your Brain's Favorite Lies
Episode 625
Monday, 20 April, 2026
Last week, Dr. Bray explored the cost of hurry and what moving too fast does to your brain, your thinking, and your ability to lead and connect. This week, he goes deeper into the question that naturally follows: if we know we are moving too fast, why is it so hard to slow down? In this episode, Dr. Bray introduces the concepts of time poverty and time sickness, the hidden psychological forces that leave so many high performers feeling behind, even when they are doing more than ever. Blending neuroscience, psychology, and real-life experiences, Dr. Bray unpacks how the brain begins to interpret time as scarce, why urgency becomes a default state, and how constant motion prevents us from ever feeling caught up. More importantly, he shares a new way to think about time, not as something to manage, but as something to experience differently, along with simple shifts that can help you regain clarity, presence, and a sense of control in a world that never slows down. Quotes by Dr. Bray "Time poverty is not just about how much time you have. It is about how your brain is interpreting time." "The experience of time is not just measured in minutes. It is shaped by where your mind is." "What you want is a sense of progress instead of constant continuation." "You can change your life by training your brain and changing your perception of time."
