Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals

“a manual for changing your mindset about time. free yourself from productivity and say yes to agency over your finite time on this spinning rock, babes!”

“4,000 weeks doesn’t feel like enough time but it’s all we’ve got! this really shook me up and I think about it when I have to make big decisions about how I’m spending time on earth”

“Life changing book for me - after a couple re-reads decided to ask for a four day work week in lieu of a raise, which may be my single best ever rec all on its own.”

“by Oliver Burkeman Because I have ADHD, I of course listened to the audiobook (thank you, Libby!) while walking, biking, cleaning and gardening. It’s like getting well-researched advice from a friend.”

“This book reprogrammed me and made me more productive in the last week than I’ve been in years. And not at all how you think it probably would. No charts or schedules, just a total paradigm shift happening, people!”

“I loved this book and found it to be very meaningful/helpful. I read it a year ago and still think about it a lot.”

“I really really Enjoyed this book and I can’t stop Thinking about it. It’s basically just Buddhism but so well written and thought provoking. He just explains things in a way that works for my brain. Immensely helpful.”

“"at the end of your life, looking back, whatever compelled your attention from moment to moment is simply what your life will have been." we only have four thousand weeks to live (if we're lucky). changed my perspective on time, how i use it, and that every decision i make should be made consciously with care, attentiveness, and intention.”

“Did you know that humans on average live about 4,000 weeks! That’s it. 4,000 weeks, that’s about 77 years, that’s only 77 summers, falls, springs, and winters. The book encourages its reader to spend their limited time intentionally since it’s a finite resource. I have severe time anxiety, was worried it might make it worse, but I actually found the book helpful in helping me confront the finitude of life.”

“One of the best “productivity” books in recent memory.”

“Game changing perspective on life and work”
