Hi friends, welcome back to the show. My guest today is Dr. Cassie Holmes. She's a professor at UCLA's Anderson School of Management, an author and an award-winning researcher of time and happiness. Time management in the modern world is hard. Many people don't feel like they have sufficient space to complete their to-do list, let alone manifest their spare time dreams. With some new strategies and a different mindset around time, however, this problem might be fixed. Expect to learn what time habits the happiest people all have, how to truly value experiences you want to enjoy, the relationship between time and happiness, the best techniques for an efficient schedule, how science advises you to deepen relationships, how to make tasks you don't want to do suck less, and much more. I really appreciate an insight into time management. I think that it's something everybody could be better at. Even my most efficient, most effective, best executive functioning friends all need an assistance. And Cassie is literally one of the world's leaders when it comes to researching time and happiness. So you're in good hands today. In other news, this episode is brought to you by Eight Sleep. If you are someone that sleeps too hot or too cold, you do not want to fix the problem by trying to heat or cool the room outside of the bed. Don't forget that you're sleeping in something which literally insulates you from the temperature outside. Eight Sleep's PodPro cover is the most advanced solution on the market for thermoregulation. It pairs dynamic cooling and heating with biometric tracking. You can add the cover to any mattress and start sleeping as cool as 55 degrees or as hot as 110 degrees. Temperature of the cover adjusts each side of the bed based on your sleep stages, biometrics and bedroom temperature, reacting intelligently to create the optimal sleeping environment. This is absolute madness. It's a liquid-cooled mattress topper that changes each side of the bed and then adjusts based on what stage of sleep you're at. So, if you've been thinking that you want to make a big upgrade to your sleep, this is a great place to start. Go to eightsleep.com/modernwisdom to get 150 pounds or $150 off the Pod Pro and the Pod Pro cover. That's E I G H T sleep.com/modernwisdom.

You are basically a happiness teacher, right?

**Cassie Mogilner Holmes** (4:47)
Yes. I teach happiness in particularly focusing on the role of time for our happiness.

**Chris Williamson** (4:54)
Why are those two things intrinsically linked?
