    16/02/2026 | 20 mins.

    So here are 7 time management tips from Immanuel Kant - 
    01. Organize yourself
    02. Follow through
    03. Follow universal principles in your daily activities
    04. Schedule time for developing your skills
    05. Make time for the small things
    06. Make time for your other duties 
    07. Make time for moral self-development
    Hope you enjoyed this audio and find these insights on time management from Immanuel Kant helpful. 
    Immanuel Kant lived in the 18th century and is considered to be one of the greatest German philosophers and one of the central Enlightenment thinkers of all time. His philosophical revolution was to place the human at the center of the philosophical study of knowledge, morality, and beauty.  He deeply believed that reason is the root of morality. His thoughts on the relationship between reason and human experience led to the notion of “procedural humanism” or “Kantian humanism”. 
    The work of Immanuel Kant is still relevant today as the humanistic values of Western culture are deeply influenced by the Kantian moral philosophy. His philosophy is called Kantianism
    The fundamental idea of Kant’s “critical philosophy” – especially in his three Critiques: the Critique of Pure Reason (1781, 1787), the Critique of Practical Reason (1788), and the Critique of the Power of Judgment (1790) – is human autonomy. He argues that human understanding is the source of the general laws of nature that structure all our experience; and that human reason gives itself the moral law, which is our basis for belief in God, freedom, and immortality.

    148: 6 Questions That Will Kill Your Overthinking Forever (William Shakespeare’s The Tragedy of Hamlet)

    14/02/2026 | 19 mins.
    6 Questions That Will Kill Your Overthinking Forever (William Shakespeare’s The Tragedy of Hamlet). In this podcast we will be talking about How to Stop Overthinking from the philosophy of William Shakespeare’s The Tragedy of Hamlet.
    Hamlet is one of William Shakespeare’s finest and most famous masterpieces. On the surface, it is a classic revenge tragedy. The King of Denmark is murdered, and his son, Prince Hamlet, must kill the murderer to reclaim the throne. In any other play, the hero would grab a sword and the story would be over but Hamlet isn't like other heroes. He is a philosopher, a student, and a man cursed with a brilliant, hyper-active mind. We return to Hamlet because he shows a common human problem: the more we think, the less we act. He represents the kind of paralysis where we believe we are being careful, but are actually doing nothing. Shakespeare describes this state as the “pale cast of thought,” the moment when too much thinking drains the energy and urgency from an idea that once had the power to change a life. So if you feel stuck in your own head, constantly weighing options but never actually making a move it could be because you are suffering from that same "pale cast of thought." which is why we’re going to take a look at the 6 questions we can extract from Hamlet’s tragedy that, if answered correctly, might just put an end to your overthinking for good.
    So here are 6 Questions That Will Kill Your Overthinking Forever from the philosophy of William Shakespeare’s The Tragedy of Hamlet.
    Question 1: Is This a "Ghost" or a Reality?
    Question 2: Am I "Thinking Too Precisely on the Event"?
    Question 3: Am I Solving the Problem or Just Watching Myself Think?
    Question 4: Am I Waiting for the "Perfect" Kill?
    Question 5: Is This "The Ready" or "The Rest"?
    Question 6: To Be, or To Seem?
    I hope you enjoyed listening to these 6 Questions That Will Kill Your Overthinking Forever from the philosophy of William Shakespeare’s The Tragedy of Hamlet.
