Four Thousand Weeks
We all only live about 4000 weeks.
This deadline of living on Planet Earth can make us do stuff quickly, trying to be as productive as possible in the short time we have.
This phenomenon of speeding up, called the productivity trap leads us to unhappiness and eventual disappointment. Counterintuitively, we need to slow down to make the most out of life.

Time In The Industrial Age
Factories and mills of the industrial age put their focus on time management, productivity and efficiency, pressurising the workforce to work maximum in minimum time. This practise is still being followed by corporates.
This method does not work, as it puts us in a productivity trap, which is a recipe for disaster.
Example: Answering every email may sound productive, but it actually increases your workload as more and more replies pile on.

The Paradox Of Time
Doing things faster does not free up time. Rewards, achievements and accomplishments do not really make us happier, a phenomenon called hedonic adaptation.
The feeling of time slipping away decreases our happiness levels and makes us conscious of how little time we have.

The 'Have Done' List
It is fine to leave certain projects that you haven’t been able to do, instead of fretting about it. You only have 4000 weeks and there is a limit to what you can achieve.
One trick is to create a have-done list, which is empty in the morning, and by the end of the day is filled with all the tasks, planned or unplanned, that you ended up doing.
This exercise reframes your mental workload and provides a sense of achievement.

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
