Four Thousand Weeks with Oliver Burkeman
In this episode of the Leadership Sparks podcast, Sylvain engages with Oliver Burkeman, a renowned journalist and author, to explore our relation to time and productivity. Burkeman discusses the inherent limitations of traditional productivity methods and emphasizes the importance of making conscious choices about how to allocate time and attention. The conversation highlights the value of embracing limitations rather than striving for unattainable ideals. Burkeman shares practical strategies for managing time and how to foster a more meaningful and intentional approach to productivity.
