Four Thousand Weeks

Is the following prompt relatable? “I have all the interests and I’ve said yes to nearly every related opportunity that’s come my way. Now, I have very little time for any one of these interests/priorities, so I feel like I’m making no progress on any specific task or direction. What do I do?” Four Thousand Weeks gives readers a useful exercise to try in these situations: reflect on your mortality, practice mindfulness to become more familiar with your feelings surrounding mortality, and then use the insights you gain by developing this familiarity to start saying no to many of these interests (at least for this season of life). Only by becoming keenly aware of how short and unpredictable life is can we begin to make wise decisions about how to spend our precious “four thousand weeks”.
