216. You have 4000 weeks, featuring Oliver Burkeman

As a parent, you have so much to do and think about—but do you ever stop to wonder if you’re really filling your time with what’s important? You may actually be robbing yourself of the gift of chasing goals, dreams, and hobbies, because you say you don’t have time.  As author Oliver Burkeman explains, time is limited. The average person has about 4,000 weeks to live—and while it’s easy to get distracted with all the things and long to-do lists, it will be more worthwhile to live wholeheartedly (and maybe even allow yourself to rest along the way!). Now is the time to decide what matters most and take action, so that you can show up as a better parent and show your kids how to live fully as well. Don’t forget to check out Our Favorite Things—A Resource Guide! Watch the full clip. Learn more at oliverburkeman.com.  Read Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals.
