Oliver Burkeman
“There is an alternative: the unfashionable but powerful notion of letting time use you, approaching life not as an opportunity to implement your predetermined plans for success but as a matter of responding to the needs of your place and your moment in history.”
Oliver Burkeman, Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals

Oliver Burkeman
“The problem with trying to make time for everything that feels important—or just for enough of what feels important—is that you definitely never will. The reason isn’t that you haven’t yet discovered the right time management tricks or supplied sufficient effort, or that you need to start getting up earlier, or that you’re generally useless. It’s that the underlying assumption is unwarranted: there’s no reason to believe you’ll ever feel ‘on top of things,’ or make time for everything that matters, simply by getting more done.”
Oliver Burkeman, Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals

Oliver Burkeman
“So if a certain activity really matters to you – a creative project, say, though it could just as easily be nurturing a relationship, or activism in the service of some cause – the only way to be sure it will happen is to do some of it today, no matter how little, and no matter how many other genuinely big rocks may be begging for your attention.”
Oliver Burkeman, Four Thousand Weeks: Time and How to Use It

Oliver Burkeman
“One can waste years this way, systematically postponing precisely the things one cares about the most.”
Oliver Burkeman, Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals

Oliver Burkeman
“if you’re procrastinating on something because you’re worried you won’t do a good enough job, you can relax—because judged by the flawless standards of your imagination, you definitely won’t do a good enough job. So you might as well make a start.”
Oliver Burkeman, Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals
