Another Sh!tty Bookclub: 4,000 Weeks (Time Management For Mortals) by Oliver Burkeman

It is a truth universally acknowledged that lawyers do NOT have time to read (at least not for funsies).

So, every 6 weeks or so I get two of my (annoyingly) well-read, funny, gorgeous, and smart besties to read all the good books for us!

Hooray! 🎉

Join:

• ⁠Giorgia Morini, Former Crown Prosecutor turned Culture Leader, Speaker, and Strategic Advisor; and
• Lauren Phelps, Former Law Firm Partner turned Wellbeing Advocate and Mediator—

—for our journey through the first book Giorgia admits she ever wanted to throw at the wall*.

It's an interesting one to say the least, and it will challenge every lawyer's perception of time; as well as productivity.

Ultimately, it will leave you pondering:

1. how INTENTIONAL are you with your time?
2. what is a HEALTHIER approach to achieving a sense of productivity and tackling our endless to-do lists; and
3. the discomfort of realising no one can actually CONTROL time (and accepting our limitations)...

And in case you're wondering: the bru-ha-ha at the beginning of this episode is the aftermath of LP trying to lovingly pap me during my opening monologue which, as a person with a ferret in her brain, naturally derails my entire train of thought.

Enjoy! 📖
