The Atlantic’s Post

This exact topic came up in a meeting earlier today so when I saw this article in my inbox I had to share! The article shares six coping strategies to help break the cycle.

The average human lifespan is absurdly, outrageously, insultingly brief: if you live to 80, you have about 4000 weeks on earth. How should we use them best? Of course, nobody needs telling that there isn't enough time. We're obsessed by our lengthening to-do lists, our overfilled inboxes, the struggle against distraction, and the sense that our attention spans are shrivelling. Yet we rarely make the conscious connection that these problems only trouble us in the first place thanks to the ultimate time-management problem: the challenge of how best to use our four thousand weeks. In this session, Oliver Burkeman sets out to realign our relationship with time – and in doing so, to liberate us from its grasp. This session will take place live on Tuesday the 14th of May. Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Hobart: 3.30pm-4.30pm Adelaide, Darwin: 3pm-4pm Perth: 1.30pm-2.30pm Register now to avoid missing out!

This post illuminates an oft-neglected truth: the most revolutionary act lies not in grand gestures, but in simplicity of saying "no." For locked within routine acquiescence lives the boundless possibility of breaking free. Yet the pivot here is inward, confined to law offices and inboxes. I propose we contemplate an outward revolution - one of questioning norms in the collective consciousness. What if we challenged assumptions that runaway busyness is the price of productivity? That burnout is the badge of honorable work? That every request warrants our infinite yes? The future awaits those who uplift these unspoken constraints. Who model sacred boundaries so the next generation inherits new cultural standards. This starts by tenderly rating our wider impact above an overflowing calendar. By pondering if each meeting moves humanity forward even an inch. And when the answer is no, then lifting our heads high as we lock the door to create what truly matters. That faint click of the lock births a wave swelling well beyond our office walls. Let it be a declaration to all who assume our infinite yes - that how we spend our precious hours will shape society for decades to come. This is the revolution beckoning within our grasp. At last, we rest. And in rest, we recalibrate towards the future that awaits. Shall we get started?

There are days when we wish there were more than 24 hours to get things done. While, unfortunately, we cannot create more hours for the day- we can try different methods to manage the hours we do have in the best way possible! Let us introduce you to time blocking and similar time management methods to fit your lifestyle and work habits. These techniques are so effective because they promote focused deep work and allow us to get through those urgent but non-important work and reduce mental fatigue.
