1. Oliver Burkeman’s Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals With the dawn of a new year comes a sense of promise and boundless opportunity, yet the temptation to set countless goals often leads to spreading oneself too thin. Instead of juggling a multitude of objectives, it's crucial to hone in on what truly matters.

Burkeman's perspective offers a liberating blend of radical acceptance and the freedom to prioritize only the most essential pursuits, enabling individuals to excel in what truly resonates with them.
