Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals
Format: 🎧 Audiobook
Overall impression:
This was a good book to start getting some stuff straight in my head about the time I have left in this life and how to use it.
Suggestions from the book:
- Adopt a fixed column approach to productivity. Open and closed lists
- Serialize. Focus on one big project at once.
- Decide in advance what to fail at. Remove the sting of shame.
- Focus on what you’ve already completed, not just on what’s left. Keep a “done” list
- Consolidate your caring. You don’t need to do everything.
- Embrace boring and single purpose tech.
- Seek out novelty in the mundane
- Be a researcher of relationships, deliberately adopt curiosity
- Cultivate instantaneous generosity
- Practice doing nothing
