#331:\nFour thousand weeks.\nThat\u2019s how long we live if we\u2019re lucky enough to celebrate our 80th birthday.\nWe rarely think of our lifespan in terms of weeks. When we do, it seems painfully short.\nAnd that\u2019s the point that Oliver Burkeman, author of Four Thousand Weeks, wants to drive home.\nRather 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.\nIf the financial independence movement is a rebellion against trading the rest of our limited time for pay, Oliver\u2019s unconventional view on time management is a rebellion against trading the rest of our limited time for an illusion of productivity.\nFor more information, visit the show notes at https://affordanything.com/episode331\xa0\nLearn more about your ad choices.
