This week is an episode from a podcast I love called Freedom Matters. It's a conversation between host Georgie Powell and her guest, Guardian columnist Oliver Burkeman, author of the best-selling “Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Humans.” Oliver talks about making the most of our radically finite lives in a world of impossible demands, relentless distraction and political insanity (and 'productivity techniques' that mainly just make everyone feel busier).
Four Thousand Weeks (the approximate number we each have to live) is really about the power of embracing our limitations – about the difficult but life-giving choices we must make to miss out on some things to make space for what matters most.
