Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals

I went in thinking this would be kind of similar to other time management books with some pragmatic choices given the title. Something not so rigid, but still practical advice on how to manage your time well.

This is a philosophy book in this disguise. I think I can summarize the overall theme in this way “No matter what you do you will never get all the things, even all the important things, done in your lifetime. This is a gift, not a curse because of a few reasons that are to be expounded on. This gift could drive you into a nihilistic fugue or maybe it will just lead to a stoic embrace of the now.”

Actually the author did not seem to consider that understanding that nothing we do matters could lead to nihilism. That is just my viewpoint I guess.
