Deep Read with Phoebe Lovatt

Oliver Burkeman: Time Management for Mortals, Rethinking Productivity, Embracing Limitations

30 Mar 2023

Description

*Deep Read-ing Lists for each episode are available at public-library.online* My guest today is the author and journalist, Oliver Burkeman. I first interviewed Oliver back in 2019, when he was writing ‘This Column Will Change Your Life’ for The Guardian. Since then, he has become the best-selling author of ‘Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals’ -which is a thoughtful and thought-provoking challenge to our futile modern obsession with 'getting everything done’. Its core message - to embrace your limits, accept mortality, and give up on the belief that you will ever complete your to-do list - is a much-needed antidote to the productivity gospel that has dominated our culture for all too long.
