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.
