Four Thousand Weeks : Time Management for Mortals

As our friend William Shakespeare says, "Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow..." We have an absurdly short time on this earth (4,000 weeks if you're lucky) to make the most of this romp. This book looks to ancient civilizations and contemporary sages to inform us how best to manage our time. Oliver Burkeman wants to keep us from falling prey to the idea that we might be able to clear the desk, hit inbox zero, and life-hack our days into oblivion. It's all a hoax; if you win at that, you've ultimately failed! A January read, if there ever was one. This book is funny, with practical solutions but not too many as he does something different in this book. You are going to want to read on to find out what it is. Genius!
