Listened to this during quiet morning drives as I was attempting to fit more into my morning routine. Finishing it with the wisdom that we can’t get everything done and there isn’t a productivity hack to actually get there. Accepting that we have limited time and will die should remind us to focus on what we really want to do, and when we do that, we also choose not to do the other things.
Not at all what I expected. Less time management and more philosophy, this book has burrowed into my mind and demands to be meditated upon.

This book wasn’t what I expected, but I really appreciated what it turned out to be. Instead of offering another cure-all system, teaching you how to budget your time, it spends more time pointing out where we unknowingly give away our time and attention. It challenges readers to face the limits of their time on earth and think about what’s actually worth the hours we have. I think a lot of people aren’t aware of these subtle drains on their energy, and for that reason, I’d recommend this to pretty much anyone in my life.

This is a transformational book that lived up to the major buzz that's been around it for months. Burkeman cuts directly through the lies underpinning every time management strategy out there — that if you could just get on top of things once and for all, the to-dos would stop piling up and you could finally get to the stage of your life you've been waiting for. Reflecting on the realities of our limited time and the necessity of dealing with life's unpredictabilities, Burkeman takes off the pressure to "get on top of things" or to spend your life a particular way. Highly recommended.
in a world that is constantly trying to teach us ways to be a constant self-improvement project to reach unattainable levels of productivity and corporate slavery, this book is like a breath of fresh air.
