In an effort to make time for ourselves, many of us fall back on using To Do lists and time blocking. But often these strategies can end up with the same result: getting lost in chasing productivity. So how do we make time for the things that truly count?

Oliver Burkeman is a New York Times bestselling author of books such as ‘Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals’ and ‘Meditations for Mortals: Four Weeks to Embrace Your Limitations and Make Time for What Counts’. Oliver is also a regular columnist for The Guardian.

If there is anyone who truly understands the philosophy and psychology of time management and happiness, it’s Oliver.

Oliver shares:
🧠 The mindset you should be using when you first approach a task if you want it to be achieved easily
⏳ How you can free up time by minimising time spent on worrying
✅ The strategy you should be utilising instead of a to-do list to actually create a sense of achievement
🌟 Why being open to distractions can actually be beneficial

Key Quotes:
"Don't start from the position that unexpected things happening must be bad."

“There is this tendency to set things up in your mind so that you can never feel like you’ve done something well enough."
