Chasing Brighter Book Club: 4,000 Weeks By Oliver Burkeman

Time is a precious resource that we all have in limited supply. How we choose to manage and utilize our time can greatly impact the quality and fulfillment of our lives. In this episode we discuss Chasing Brighter’s August 2023 book pick: “4000 Weeks: Time Management for Mortals” by Oliver Burkeman. Rather than offering traditional productivity tips, Burkeman explores a more philosophical approach to time management, encouraging readers to focus on what truly matters and make the most of their finite time on Earth. Burkeman’s book challenges the conventional notion of time management by encouraging readers to embrace their limitations and focus on what truly brings meaning to their lives. 

In this episode we tackle key topics covered in the book that we loved:

• Embracing Finitude
• The Joy of Missing Out (JOMO)
• 'Settling' is a good thing
• Quality over quantity
• Mindful Living
• Setting Boundaries

“4000 Weeks: Time Management for Mortals” challenges conventional notions of time management and encourages readers to embrace a more thoughtful and intentional approach to their lives. By focusing on meaningful experiences, setting boundaries, and appreciating the present moment, we can make the most of our finite time on Earth. This book serves as a reminder to shift our perspective and prioritize what truly matters in the grand scheme of things.
