Listen "98 - Create New Standards for Time and Life"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, I dive into Oliver Burkeman's book "Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals" and explore some powerful ways to break free from productivity traps and focus on what truly matters. Burkeman has some great advice, like limiting task lists to just a few items, focusing on one thing at a time, and even embracing boring technology. But one of my favorite takeaways is the idea of deciding what to fail at. It may sound counterintuitive, but sometimes letting go of certain tasks or goals can actually free up more time and energy to pursue what's truly important.
So, I challenge you to take a page out of Burkeman's book and think about four things you can get rid of or plan to fail at. It might be tough at first, but it will be worth it in the long run. And don't forget to pay attention to the small things in life, research your relationships, practice generosity, and even take some time to do nothing. You'll be surprised at how much more fulfilling life can be when you focus on what truly matters.
