Do you know #OliverBurkeman ?
He has a fortnightly email called '#TheImperfectionist', which I have just signed up to, irresistibly drawn in by the following:

'The answer to the problem of the never-diminishing book pile is to increase your mental reading pile. Think of all the books in the #BritishLibrary. Zoom out to all the other books you'll never read. It's so obviously futile to worry about them. The path through the problem is to realise that it's a lot worse than you think.'

The Next and Most Necessary Thing
"Routine will take you further than willpower." — @ShaneAParrish

The “next and most necessary thing” is all that any of us can ever aspire to do in any moment. And we must do it despite not having any objective way to be sure what the right course of action even is. — Oliver Burkeman, Four Thousand W

"Without noticing we're doing it, we treat the future as intrinsically more valuable than the present. And yet the future never seems to arrive." — Oliver Burkeman — — — #OliverBurkeman #quote #quotes #present #future #value #valuable #later #now #tomorrow

Last boost: I bought #OliverBurkeman's 4,000 weeks book on the challenges of time management and its futility. And failed to carve out the time to read it. But now I have skim read an article. Which is the same thing as reading the book right? #bookstodon

I’m going to try making a bullet journal to see if it helps me focus next year. I want something attractive but realise I will lose interest if I make it too complicated or make attractiveness mandatory so I’m going to go for something neat that I can add to if I want.

So far, I’ve realised I have an impractical number of things on my focus list, in that there is not enough paper in my journal.

1,665 weeks of life left. Gotta make them count. (Thanks #OliverBurkeman)
