Four Thousand Weeks
Four Thousand Weeks by Oliver Burkeman is a time management book that reframes productivity around human finitude and the reality of an inevitable, unfinished to-do list.
Discussed“I read 4,000 Weeks recently; it's also a great book about that, kind of a similar concept. But, you know, those books help me center and realize, 'Wait a minute, just because I can try and do everything, it doesn't mean that's the right move.'”
