Is time management a scam? What you can manage is your attention (Four Thousand Weeks #1)

About this episode

Many people think time management means filling your calendar, being more efficient and getting more done. But in this episode, I want to talk about a more important idea: time can't be managed; what you can really manage is your attention.

In the first episode of the Four Thousand Weeks series, I share five key ideas: Life is short: even if you live to 80, that's only about 4,000 weeks Time seems to pass faster the older you get Why didn't Keynes's prediction come true? Why haven't we got more leisure? Why being more efficient makes us busier: how Parkinson's law affects our lives Some things are meaningful precisely because they're inconvenient

If you often feel there's not enough time and your to-do list never ends, this episode will help you rethink: in a limited life, where do you really want to put your attention?
