Four Thousand Weeks, with Oliver Burkeman

<p>#331:</p> <p>Four thousand weeks.</p> <p>That’s how long we live if we’re lucky enough to celebrate our 80th birthday.</p> <p>We rarely think of our lifespan in terms of weeks. When we do, it seems painfully short.</p> <p>And that’s the point that Oliver Burkeman, author of Four Thousand Weeks, wants to drive home.</p> <p>Rather than fight a losing battle against time, Oliver recommends that we embrace our cosmic insignificance, redefine what a meaningful life looks like, choose what to fail at, burn bridges, and ruthlessly limit our works-in-progress.</p> <p>If the financial independence movement is a rebellion against trading the rest of our limited time for pay, Oliver’s unconventional view on time management is a rebellion against trading the rest of our limited time for an illusion of productivity.</p> <p>For more information, visit the show notes at <a href= "https://affordanything.com/episode331" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">https://affordanything.com/episode331</a> </p>
