Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals

Four Thousand Weeks offers a philosophical and practical look at time, arguing that life is far shorter than we realize, with each of us having only about 4,000 weeks to live. Burkeman challenges the conventional time-management approach, which often leads to busyness and a sense of overwhelm, and instead advocates for focusing on what truly matters. The book encourages readers to embrace the limits of their time and use them wisely, suggesting that we must make intentional choices about how we spend our brief lives, emphasizing the importance of meaning over efficiency.
