You’ll never be that ideal version of yourself.

You’ll never be able to do everything you want.

Our time is finite, this is a good thing.

We can be free to accept ourselves today and focus on what we feel is important.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • About the book Four Thousand Weeks by Oliver Burkeman

  • 4000 weeks is the finite time we have in this world

  • We never get to that idealized version of ourselves

  • Embrace we can’t do everything, accept where we are today

  • How to use your leisure time for it’s own sake
