Workbook for Oliver Burkeman’s Four Thousand Weeks

Don't Just read about how to embrace your limited time on this earth and enjoy life now: actually do it - put it into practice. 

WHY THIS WORKBOOK?

You've read Oliver Burkeman's book about how to create great habits and stick to them. Now it's time to actually practice it - write, journal, put the lessons in motion each day.

This workbook was created as a companion to Oliver Burkeman’s "Four Thousand Weeks". While reading the book, we found ourselves wishing for a place where we could write, process and practice the book’s lessons in a constructive, concise way. There are so many valuable takeaways - but there isn't much space to actually write in the book itself.

Instead, we found ourselves cobbling notes together in various places - notebooks, journals, pieces of paper - all of which would eventually get lost, or at the very least, not be helpful in putting the lessons into practice. That's how this workbook was born.

WHO IS THIS WORKBOOK FOR?

If you're a proactive 'do-er' and want to integrate the lessons from "Four Thousand Weeks" into your daily life - this book will help you do just that. It might be for you if:

• You've read Four Thousand Weeks and want to implement the lessons into real-life
• You want to take action on what you read (not just read, nod, and move on)
• You want an organised, clear space to write your answers to the exercises, all in one place

WHAT YOU GET WITH THIS WORKBOOK

This book is like a faithful companion to Four Thousand Weeks. In it, you’ll find exactly what’s advertised: exercises created from the book's lessons, summarised and formatted, with space to answer.

• Exercises derived from the key lessons from Four Thousand Weeks, extracted into one single place
• Space to write under each exercise
• Lists, drawn lines and space for you to answer, journal and reflect
• Clearly organised and well-formatted so it's easy to follow

In each section, we’ve extracted the main premise of the exercise, and then added space to respond and practice the lessons. This may come in the format of a table to fill in, space to free-write, or other exercise methods to provide space for reflection. You’ll also notice the “Parts” and “Chapters” referenced in the book, so you can easily find the section if you need to look back on it for further context.

If you want to not only read about how to create lead a balanced, fulfilling life by embracing your limits - but also put the lessons into practice - this workbook, as well as your own dedication, will help you do just that.
