Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals
Ratings261
Average rating4.2
Self help and productivity type books are usually a hit or miss for me but I generally enjoyed this one and found useful ways to reframe thinking around using time. I liked the combination of philosophy and ways of thinking about time and mortality, anecdotal contributions, and concrete suggestions and action items – it was a great balance that offered value across multiple axes. Considering purchasing a copy for periodic rereads and so I can annotate. It's almost worth it alone for the references to other texts to be adapted as a reading list!

This is a mindfulness book disguised as a book about productivity; it will completely shift how you think about every time management tip you’ve ever read, because it’s fundamentally about a mindset shift. If you’re an entrepreneur constantly running on the hamster wheel of someday work-life balance, you need to drop everything and read this.
I have a massive TBR list, so I’m not sure that I’ve ever wanted to turn around and start reading the same book again, but it’s absolutely how I feel about this one. I read fast, but this is the kind of book that asks you to sit with it and digest what the ideas mean for your own life. This is going to be my top pick of 2023.
