Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals
by Oliver Burkeman
Such a great read - a time management book not about optimizing your time down to the millisecond, but about leaving room to enjoy all the little things in life.
If we start fitting in more into our life, we begin to realize that the goalposts start to shift and more things will then feel more important, meaningful, necessary. "Work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion,”
“The average human lifespan is absurdly, terrifyingly, insultingly short. But that isn’t a reason for unremitting despair, or for living in an anxiety-fueled panic about making the most of your limited time. It’s a cause for relief. You get to give up on something that was always impossible—the quest to become the optimized, infinitely capable, emotionally invincible, fully independent person you’re officially supposed to be. Then you get to roll up your sleeves and start work on what’s gloriously possible instead.”
