In our sector, time often feels like a scarce resource. You’re likely juggling countless tasks, believing that maximum productivity is the key to fulfilling your mission. But what if we’re approaching time all wrong?<\/p>\n

Today, I’m joined by Oliver Burkeman,\u00a0best selling\u00a0author of ‘Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals.<\/em>‘\u00a0Oliver challenges this mindset, urging us to embrace the limitations of our finite weeks. We discuss the fine line between procrastination and prioritization, and the undervalued role of rest in our lives \u2013 especially critical in the demanding world of nonprofit leadership. Post-pandemic, our perception of time has undoubtedly shifted, and Oliver offers invaluable insights into navigating these changes.<\/p>\n

This conversation is a call to rethink how we view and use our time, not to squeeze more out of it, but to make our work and lives more meaningful and impactful.<\/p>\n
