4000 Weeks, Oliver Burkeman, 2022

The book challenges our modern obsession with productivity and control, highlighting the inevitability of our limited time and the need to embrace it. Instead of constantly optimizing and planning for an ideal future, it argues for focusing on what truly matters in the present. Accepting limits and making meaningful choices without fear of missing out leads to a more fulfilling life.

Top 3 Learnings:

1. The pursuit of productivity often becomes a form of avoidance, making us feel busier without actually addressing what matters most.
2. Embracing limitations and committing to fewer, more meaningful pursuits leads to greater satisfaction and fulfillment.
3. True time management isn’t about doing more, but about neglecting the right things and making peace with imperfection.
