Why Time Management Is Ruining Our Lives
All of our efforts to be more productive backfire – and only make us feel even busier and more stressed
The Guardian, 2016
Aperçu
You only have so many hours in a day. How would you like to fill (or not fill) them?
Recommendation
If you feel like your to-do list is never-ending, you’re not alone. Society today has created a culture of efficiency that makes people believe it is their duty to complete more tasks in shorter periods of time than ever before – and for what? Guardian writer Oliver Burkeman scrutinizes the modern obsession with “personal productivity”: completing task lists, emptying inboxes, and the like. He invites you to dive into the history of efficiency and decide for yourself if growing for the sake of growth is fruitless. getAbstract recommends this thoughtful essay to those who never have enough time.
