  • This book was published last year and I read this book from January to June in 2022.
  • It was not easy to read, but meaningful to me.
  • Time-management is the key to success, but I have been always distracted by a smartphone or any other things.
  • Life is too short, but you and I are easily distracted, and as a result, are wasted time.
  • Oliver Burkeman, the author of the book, suggests how we solve this dilemma.
    • First, set the priorities, and do the tasks on the priorities.
      • You couldn’t do everything. Focus on that which matters most.
    • Second, limit the number of projects. If you are saying “it’s three”, you don’t add fourth project until one of them has been completed.
    • Third, of course, you have to say “no” to others so that limit the number of projects.
      • Where you need to focus is matter, but it’s also important that decide what you are not going to do.
    • Fourth, learn to live with the inconveniences.
      • Every meaningful thing relates to inconveniences, and usually it takes time for a long period.
      • If you choose to conveniences to save time, you couldn’t make meaningful things.
      • For example, writing letters to someone is a better way to express your heart than email.
  • This book makes me view my everyday life more widen perspectives and urge to choose what matter most.
  • At many times, I still tend to focus what actually doesn’t matter to me, but at least I try to focus only two things, writing and learning English, in a long-term view.
