In this episode of BOOK CLUB, we're talking about how to combat the lengthening to-do lists, our overfilled inboxes and the struggle against distraction which I learned from reading Oliver Burkeman's book 'Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals'. These lessons have helped to change my outlook and attitudes to time management and are super useful to learn early on in your journey to being more productive and living a more meaningful life.
