This is not the book I was expecting but exactly the book I needed. While most productivity books teach you how to do all the things, this one lays out explicitly why it’s impossible to do all the things. I especially enjoyed the reframe on how we view time and how it will never feel like enough.

This book has me re-thinking how I'm prioritizing the 4000 weeks (or less) I have. It philosophically looks at our limited time and provides approaches to navigate this reality. My main takeaways are to live in every moment and slow down. The author does not acknowledge that taking these actions isn't accessible to everyone because of *gestures wildly* capitalism and all the other systems we live under.

i really liked burkeman’s writing style.
main point: 4000 weeks isn’t a lot and that is empowering. use the time you have on things that matter, enjoy your time, and make time to do nothing.
this feels self explanatory, but the way it is presented feels life changing!
