Ep. 95 - You Have 168 Hours a Week - Here’s How to Make Them Count

04/23/24 • 19 min

Hey there! Have you ever stopped to think about how we spend our time? My friend recommended a book called "4000 Weeks: Time Management for Mortals" by Oliver Burkeman. It's all about making the most of our limited time on this earth.

Burkeman challenges the usual productivity advice and encourages us to focus on what truly matters. He talks about setting boundaries, saying no to things that aren't important, and finding balance between work and downtime.

I've struggled with this myself, especially as a high achiever who's always on the go. But as I've gotten older, I've realised the importance of prioritising what's meaningful to me.

So let's take a step back and appreciate the time we have. Whether it's pursuing our goals or simply enjoying the present moment, let's make the most of every hour in our 168-hour week.

If you’ve been waiting for a sign to bet on yourself, this is it. Stop hesitating. Start leading. Fill out this Career Confidence Quiz today.

In response to Amanda's question about gracefully handling passive-aggressive comments in the workplace, it's essential to recognise the power of emotional resilience. When faced with insults or undermining remarks, one's emotional state becomes paramount. If you're solid in your confidence and content with your abilities and direction in life, insults lose their sting. Remember, you can only be insulted if you allow it.
Being prepared with a few strategic responses can help disarm such situations without escalating tension. It's crucial to strike a balance between assertiveness and professionalism, refraining from aggression while standing your ground firmly.
