The British author and journalist Oliver Burkeman shares his refreshing perspectives on the limitations of time management and productivity hacks as a means toward a fulfilling life. He also reflects on his previous 20-plus years writing for The Guardian, during which he authored the widely read column “This Column Will Change Your Life”; the influences that shape his temporal understanding, from the Stoics to medieval peasants; and why he tries to eschew any inkling of urgency in order to seek “aliveness.”
