Sometimes to make time for what matters, we need to give things up.

The average human lifespan is undoubtedly brief, but that doesn't mean we can't make the most of it. With approximately four thousand weeks on earth, if you live to 80, Oliver Burkeman shares his insights on improving our relationship with time and embracing the finite nature of our lives.

Oliver joins Kate Campbell on the show to talk about:

⏳ Why four thousand weeks?

⏳ How do we embrace the fact that our time is finite?

⏳ How to deal with procrastination in a digitally distracted world?

⏳ When can effort and inconvenience enrich our experiences?

⏳ How do you view the idea of balance, rest and work?
