Episode notes

You've written three books, multiple articles and produced a significant volume of work. The mistake you made was thinking that you have to be on a unique path from the very beginning of the journey. You're honing your taste but haven't yet figured out how to make it. And again, you have to sort of have the patience to am stick with something that doesn't feel right in order to get to the thing that does feel right.

Oliver Burkeman is a journalist and author of the book 4000 Weeks: Time Management for Mortals. In this episode we discuss:

- The time management myths that are holding you back - Practical strategies that help you focus on what matters most- The true cost of convenience culture and what you lose

We also talk about how writing the book changed Oliver’s relationship to time, the path to producing original creative work and the issues with self-help culture.
