Nnamdi’s Reviews > Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals > Status Update

Wasn’t expecting a lesson on dating advice in a chapter dedicated to addressing procrastination lol

Anyways I might try building a template for the 3 item limit mentioned in this chapter

Main takeaway from this chapter is that convenience isn’t always beneficial; if we fill up the freed-up time from convenient methods with even more tasks, then we’re back to square one.

What I gathered from this chapter:

We are finite beings that also have a multitude of options presented to us that we know we cannot achieve in one lifetime. Hyper-productivity ignores the fact that we can’t do everything in one lifetime, while procrastination ignores the fact that our time is finite.

We have to accept the reality that our time is short and give meaning to the choices we make over others

Who would’ve guessed being overly productive would lead to burnout quicker /s

Can’t wait to see how time management and capitalism are intertwined
