Time Management for Mortals

Four thousand weeks is the average human lifespan, which on reflection is not much, making time management an important aspect of existence.  But, Time Management for Mortals is no ordinary book and offers no secrets on how to increase productivity or to better integrate work and home life. Productivity geeks beware.

The book compellingly argues what we know, or should know: that there is never enough time for our hyperactive lives and the sooner we accept that the less we will suffer. It comes down to choosing what not to do, or being highly selective in what to do, to pause and focus on what really matters, to avoid the busy trap- a never ending cycle of anxiety.

This is a short yet powerful read, especially for those who are pressed for time.

Lost In Thought: A Bookworm's Delight

Idle time on the couch with a book in hand should not be thought of as unproductive work. 

In fact, in this beautifully written book by Zena Hitz, the numerous benefits of intellectual pursuits (such as reading and reflecting) are compellingly argued. These include a refugee from distress; a reminder of human dignity; a source of insight and understanding; a source of inspiration and a 'place' to seek a broader perspective on nearly all matters of existence.

Slow down, read, reflect, re-orient, for self-benefit and for the good of others.
