Send us a text

If you’re like me, you’re constantly try to find ways to get more efficient at things so you can cram more into your day and feel some sense of control over your life!

It’s so easy to lose momentum with your writing when things gets too hectic.

On today’s episode I’m going to be talking about a different, and potentially better, way to think about time and how we can release ourselves from fixating on efficiency and productivity. 

It’s inspired by the book by Oliver Burkeman called Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals.

This episode will tell you why this book has completely turned the concept of time management on its head for me plus give you some unique strategies for using your time more effectively.
