The Urgency Trap—What Feels Urgent vs. What Actually Matters | Ep. 21

Not everything that feels urgent actually matters—let’s talk about how to tell the difference.

In this episode of PNP: The Podcast, we’re diving into the urgency trap. You know that feeling that everything needs your attention right now—the ping of an email at 9 PM, the “quick” request that derails your writing time, the sense that you’re always behind no matter how much you do?

We’ll explore why academia runs on manufactured urgency, how it sucks energy from your important work and well-being, and what it looks like to reclaim your time for what actually matters. It’s time to step out of the constant rush, take a breath, and start shaping your days around what truly deserves your energy.
