Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals by Oliver Burkeman

4.0

I read this because of a Tita’s recommendation. I enjoyed it! I was reminded that there is no reality where we can do everything we want to do and be who we want to be for everyone at all times. Once we let go of trying to control our life, there will be a freedom that accompanies the choices we make. This is still something I struggle with (I love a plan). But, as my friends can attest, I have been so much more flexible and spontaneous this past year. That huge loss of control in my life has opened opportunities that fill my time and fill my heart. It will never be perfect, it’ll always be a work in progress
