The average human lifespan is absurdly, insultingly brief. Assuming you live to be eighty, you have just over four thousand weeks.
Nobody needs telling there isn't enough time. We're obsessed with our lengthening to-do lists, our overfilled inboxes, work-life balance, and the ceaseless battle against distraction; and we're deluged with advice on becoming more productive and efficient, and "life hacks" to optimize our days. But such techniques often end up making things worse. The sense of anxious hurry grows more intense, and still the most meaningful parts of life seem to lie just beyond the horizon. Still, we rarely make the connection between our daily struggles with time and the ultimate time management problem: the challenge of how best to use our four thousand weeks.
Drawing on the insights of both ancient and contemporary philosophers, psychologists, and spiritual teachers, Oliver Burkeman delivers an entertaining, humorous, practical, and ultimately profound guide to time and time management. Rejecting the futile modern fixation on "getting everything done," Four Thousand Weeks introduces readers to tools for constructing a meaningful life by embracing finitude, showing how many of the unhelpful ways we've come to think about time aren't inescapable, unchanging truths, but choices we've made as individuals and as a society--and that we could do things differently.

This soap is a second line defense against itching due to allergies.
This is only the second thing my husband has asked me to reorder from Amazon. He was itching all the time, so I ordered this for him. It stopped the itching because when he ran out and started itching again, he told me to reorder it immediately. I use an allergen free detergent for washing our clothes because we both tend to have allergy problems. This is a second line of defense against itching from allergies since soaps and detergents tend to trigger ours. It would also be nice to cleanse your skin after coming into contact with poison ivy or oak. What I paid is worth it to me because the value is in not hearing him complain! There’s no unpleasant odor and it’s a good quality soap. I can’t speak to the moisturizing part because he doesn’t care about things like that, but his skin must be moisturized or he’d be itching again, lol. I’ll definitely keep buying it.
