Video Description
The average human will live for roughly 4000 weeks. Foregrounding this can be a source of stress, leading us to constantly run from one task to another. Or, it can be a source of meaning and purpose, nudging us to focus on what really matters. In this episode, I am joined by bestselling author Oliver Burkeman for an exploration of what’s really at stake in what we call “time management”. You’ll learn why doing things faster only leaves you with more to do, the hidden payoffs of constant busyness, and how we can live a more fulfilling and enjoyable life by embracing its finite nature. About our Guest: Oliver Burkeman is a bestselling author and journalist. His most recent book is Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals, and prior to that wrote The Guardian column titled, “This Column Will Change Your Life.” He writes and publishes a twice monthly email newsletter called “The Imperfectionist.” Key Topics: 0:00 Introduction 0:50 Oliver’s movement towards “anti-productivity” 2:45 Doing fewer things more purposefully 4:55 Looking at your own experience, and the paradoxical notion of perfect efficiency 10:40 The wheel of craving, secondary gains, and grappling with our mortality 16:15 Procrastination and freedom from an ideal result 21:35 The poignancy of limited choice 24:20 Existential crisis, insight, and fulfillment 31:45 Organizing your daily schedule around your top priority 37:55 Frameworks for working within someone else’s schedule 41:55 The allure of middling priorities 43:45 Identifying our wants and needs, and choices that enlarge and diminish us 48:35 Five questions to ask yourself from Oliver’s book 53:05 Suffering from trying to find a solution, and life not being a ‘prologue’ 1:01:25 Recap Subscribe to Being Well on: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/being-well-with-dr-rick-hanson/id1120885936 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5d87ZU1XY0fpdYNSEwXLVQ Who Am I: I'm Forrest, the co-author of Resilient (https://amzn.to/3iXLerD) and host of the Being Well Podcast (https://apple.co/38ufGG0).
