The Time Academy Podcast with Tom O'Leary is a time management podcast that asks questions of our relationship with time.
Welcome to Episode 6 - Play and Creativity
The Episode at a Glance
* Why have an episode on playfulness?
* What a waste of time! Adults are too busy to play. Right?
* In practice, however, if we are too busy trying to crack a problem head on because we don’t have time for seeming idleness we can spend much longer than if we were to take the time to play and creatively explore whatever is in front of us.
* Listen to what John Cleese had to say on the matter in his book Creativity: A Short and Cheerful Guide:
“Most adults […] find it hard to be playful — no doubt because they have to take care of all the responsibilities that come with an adult’s life. Creative adults, however, have not forgotten how to play.”
If you find the reflections useful, please share them. I would also love to get your feedback and hear your stories so please feel free to email me at hello @ tomoleary.ie

About Tom O'Leary
Tom's focus is on building bridges to regenerative futures.
His primary offering – through a process he calls Ecological Coaching – is about supporting leaders as they transition their organisations.
It involves expanding mindsets, enhancing skillsets and evolving organisational structures all in service of life.
In working with clients, Tom realised that a key enabler of any transition is reimagining our relationship with time.
Busyness limits our ability to imagine what might be.
And unless we create space to imagine what might be, we will certainly never build it!
If any of this resonates, please reach out to Tom at hello@tomoleary.ie or learn about his vision for possible regenerative futures.
