What if the reason you struggle with time management isn't a lack of discipline, but biology?

In this episode, Paul sits down with Dr. Cody Sandzimier, founder and owner of Redmond Spine Center and creator of the Loop Timer, to explore the surprising science behind how humans perceive time. The conversation dives into neuroscience, psychology, productivity, and practical strategies you can use immediately to reduce stress, improve focus, and get more done without burnout.

You'll learn why humans don't actually have a "sensory organ" for time, how our brains rely on external cues to understand duration, and why visual timers and progress indicators can dramatically change how you work and live.
