lighthearted reflective fast-paced

unfortunately I did not find any of the information in here to be particularly novel or life-changing. the main part I enjoyed was the part about having an 8th day of the week.

The book gave some suggestions which I hadn't seen in other books of this type. Unlike many other how to organize your life/how to be less stressed/how to not burnout/how to manage your time/etc. this one didn't have a large number of suggestions that you'd never use in the real world as many do.

It was nice and short and the author gets to the point without unnecessary and/or ridiculously long stories which often benefit them more than the reader.

In my opinion it's definitely worth the time and I'm sure you'll get something out of it.

Time Anxiety by Chris Guillebeau explores the modern fear of running out of time — the pressure to do more, be more, and never fall behind. Guillebeau dives into how this constant race against the clock can cause stress, dissatisfaction, and burnout. Through relatable insights and practical advice, he encourages readers to shift their focus from doing everything to doing what truly matters, helping them find peace, fulfillment, and purpose in a fast-moving world.

I don't know about you, but every year feels like it goes by faster and faster — and honestly, that alone makes me feel like I don't have enough time to accomplish anything. Whether it's daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly goals, it feels like time is sprinting ahead and I'm constantly struggling to catch up. I’ve often felt anxiety about time, but I never really knew it was an actual thing until I came across Time Anxiety by Chris Guillebeau.

Anywayyyyy, back to the book — this one was so relevant and helpful. It made me realize that while time anxiety is incredibly common, it doesn't have to control my life. Guillebeau offers practical insights that helped me understand the patterns contributing to my stress, and he gives actionable advice for focusing on what truly matters instead of trying to "do it all." After reading this, I definitely have a better sense of where I can improve and what I'd like to intentionally change moving forward.

If you’ve ever felt like life is speeding by and you’re stuck playing a game you can’t win, this book will absolutely resonate.
