Four Thousand Weeks: Time and How to Use It by Oliver Burkeman

BATB score: 9/10 💙

Best to: a twist to you only live once #yolo, live today like it's your last, the art of not giving a f*ck, and other time is finite mantras

Best for: over-achievers, move fast rushers, high productivity zombies to take a chill pill 💊

Best as: we only have four thousand weeks; i am on my 1616/4000 week; with that said, am I living my current week the way I utmost want to?

Best quote: “even the winners in our achievement-obsessed culture - the ones who make it to the elite universities, then reap the highest salaries - find that their reward is the unending pressure to work with ‘crushing intensity’ in order to maintain the income and status that have come to seem like prerequisites for the lives they want to lead.”

"the problem with trying to make time for everything that feels important - or just for enough of what feels important - is that you definitely never will."

"Living more fully in the present may be simply a matter of finally realising that you never had any other option but to be here now."
