In our lives, a large number of time-management books often choose to draw our lives on a graph paper, and then mark out the past years and the future that have not yet arrived. There are even many times in which we will remove our sleep. Then we looked at the small amount of blank space left on a piece of white paper, and we felt infinite anxiety in our hearts.
But what if we think about this problem from a different perspective? When we examine the only blank time in life, do we need to make these blank time more meaningful? Should we remove some meaningless things in our lives? Do we want to make our lives more comfortable and secure?
The famous British productivity geek and psychology columnist Oliver Berkman is also helping more people solve this problem, helping us realize that life is only 4,000 weeks, we must accept the finiteness of life and choose the way we want to live.
And his book, the book "Four Thousand Weeks", which promotes his philosophy, became popular all over the world as soon as it was published, causing more and more people to think about their lives.
If a person lives to the age of 80, his life will only be 4,000 weeks. Life is so short that we must think about how to live a good life.
Have we ever had very lofty ideals? Want to become a scientist, or even become a great man like Einstein , and then put yourself in a state of fatigue and hard work? When we move this mentality into our daily lives, what kind of state is it? The work that can never be handled will always be in anxiety. The house is never big enough, and travel tools can never meet your needs. Maybe we are already very happy, but because of these pressures, we cannot feel this happiness.
Then read this book "Four Thousand Weeks" carefully, so that we can look at the world from another perspective, so that we can feel another beauty of controlling time.
So what suggestions do the author have here?
First of all, we must recognize: constantly improving work efficiency and constantly requiring ourselves to complete all work perfectly is a trap in itself.
When we meet other people's expectations, we will usher in more work, especially when dealing with some work that does not belong to us, others may think that giving these work to ourselves is their best choice. But what kind of pressure will this put on ourselves? I believe that many people who work hard in the workplace have deep feelings, and they will only make themselves feel more and more overwhelmed.
So is this suggesting that we don’t work well? Of course not. The advice we provide is: we need to be committed to doing one thing well. You must do the work you are at hand perfectly, and you can give up other unimportant things. Only by learning to choose to give up and feel the sense of success from your own choices will this life be more meaningful.
