    One of those podcast episodes where you're having a rough, sloppy day and then this pops up and you listen to it while doing the dishes and cooking, and everything starts shining in a new light.
    Thank you, Ali and Oliver. I'm only halfway through and it already feels very therapeutic 😌💚

    "Life is difficult. This is one of the great truths. Because when you fully internalise the truth that life is difficult, then it no longer matters that life is difficult." Gem!

    I'm loving the imagery here.
    Essentially he's turned the productivity mindset on its head.
    So you don't wake up into your day & be specific about what you're going to get done - you wake up into the 'rubble' of the day ahead - & decide what 𝘪𝘴𝘯'𝘵 going to get done that day.
    Don't designate - relegate.

    I finished Four Thousand Weeks on Audible this week and it was fantastic. I learned so much from it, and it was refreshing to hear a philosophical approach to time a management. It wasn’t a series of life hacks to save precious seconds but a new perspective on how to LOOK at time.
    I highly recommend it!

    I was glad to hear someone else struggles to reply to friends. I have to write it on my to do list and it still gets put off but I think that part of that is to do with how I value socialising in person much more. I feel guilty that messaging people feels like a chore.

    The idea of accepting that your gonna miss out and be okay with that is so freeing.
    Thank you this was a great episode enjoyed it as usual ♥️♥️.

    "Life is difficult when you internalize the truth when you have a difficult problem to solve it seems less difficult because by default it is going difficult"
    That's one of the best takeaway from the Podcast 🙏🏼🙏🏼

    I love this stance on productivity. I always feel there is more I could be doing. I suppose advice on productivity can also be very individual. I need to learn to take more breaks rather than do more productive things in the day. Thanks Ali, your interview style is great, the conversation flows and your interest in the content shows.

    If there is some technology you are not using such as the reMarkable perhaps you should make give aways. I wouldn't mind having a reMarkable tablet.

    I normally love Ali’s work and perpective on things. But this podcast as a whole is unfortunately terrible. Ali does not know how to truly listen, he is always thinking about what to say next etc. I don’t like Joe Rogen as a person but he is the true master of this.

    The usefulness of this title seems to stop at the book. The conversation borders on the trivial or the speculative. Trivial because everyone knows he is going to die. Speculative because the grander claims are very loosely supported, proceed from non-sequiturs, and are often based on strawmen (claiming time management authors try to take control of time itself). Seems like a half-baked stoicism.
