I sit down with Oliver Burkeman, the British author of "Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals" and "Meditations for Mortals", to discuss our dysfunctional relationship with time and busyness. We explore why everyone seems so busy these days, the pitfalls of saying "no" to everything, and Oliver's journey to becoming a personal development writer. Oliver shares insights on why we struggle with time management, the dangers of distraction in the digital age, and how his new book aims to help people take meaningful action in their daily lives. We delve into topics like finding stillness, the Rule of St. Benedict's flexible approach to habits, and why "squeezing things in" is often counterproductive. Oliver offers a refreshing perspective on embracing our limitations as humans and focusing on what truly matters, rather than trying to do it all. Our talk is packed with practical wisdom for anyone looking to improve their relationship with time and live more intentionally.
