Impossible Burgers, Wasting Time, Calendaring - a podcast by BYUradio

Impossible Burgers (0:00:00)

You’ve seen it everywhere –the impossible meat craze is taking the fast food industry by storm. Who knew that a patty made from plants and soy could taste like a regular hamburger? These burgers have been a major perk for vegan fast food eaters, and hearing the ingredient list for impossible meat can make you think that you could replace it with your daily vegetables. But is the burger really that much healthier for you than a regular beef patty? Joining us today is Tracy Beckerman, a nationally known nutrition expert, here to weigh in on the true healthiness of impossible meat. 

In Praise of Wasting Time(0:14:33)It’s incredibly hard to allow ourselves to unwind without feeling this mounting urge to do something “productive.” There’s always a to-do list to check off. And with so few hours in the day, we often tell ourselves that we don’t have time to waste time. But our next guest says that there’s value in wasting time. In fact, it’s important to our well-being. With us today is Dr. Alan Lightman, a physicist, professor at M. I. T., and author of the ground-breaking book"In Praise of Wasting Time."Everyday Rockstar (0:30:28)

Are you someone who keeps a written calendar or planner of your day, week, month or even year? Many studies have shown that keeping your plans written down helps with organizing time management, increasing productivity, and lowering anxiety. Knowing there are such amazing benefits to calendaring, we wanted to know the best ways to arrange our own calendars. So, we invited John Zeratsky, a productivity expert and author of the book"Make Time: How to Focus on What Matters Everyday,"to discuss this topic.
