Four Thousand Weeks Introduction

[Kat]

Introduction:
My initial reaction to the premise of the book discussed in the introduction was a sense of dread over thinking about how many weeks the average human lives, and how many I have already lived. This is not something that I had never given any thought to and now all of a sudden this thought has been planted in my brain. And I can’t shake it. I read the first few pages, put my Kindle down, and go do something to dull the existential dread that I now have. The comfort that I receive at the end of the introduction is that I can’t make everyone happy, and I can’t do everything, and that’s okay. And for me personally these are things that I have already started to come to terms with especially in my work life. I know there are not enough hours in the work day to complete all my tasks, and I just have to make sure that I am prioritizing things to the best of my ability.
