Alex looks how as life is finite for everyone finding a way to do the things that really matter and experience them completely is the way to achieve what really counts and brings you joy
With the average life being made up of around four thousand weeks managing your time in the best way should be what’s really important but often we become overwhelmed and make choices that are about being busy instead of meaningful. Alex has great advice listen in and hear more
KEY TAKEAWAYS
The average life is around four thousand weeks
To remove existential overwhelm make a list of your twenty-five life goals in priority order and then focus only on the top five
Concentrate completely on the first five goals on your list
You need to create vacancies on the closed list before you move anything from the open list
Adopt strategic underachievement and concentrate on doing a few things really well
Focus on doing well the things that are meaningful
When you slow down and eliminate being busy all the time everything becomes more meaningful
Everything becomes more meaningful when you experience it as if you are doing it for the last time
Get lost in the time and feeling of the experience and it becomes more meaningful
BEST MOMENTS
‘You can get caught in the efficiency trap. Stop and break the existential overwhelm’
‘Get beyond yourself and put yourself in an emotional state of understanding’
‘Embrace the finiteness, get lost in the moment and enjoy the experience’
