The problem with trying to make time for everything that feels important — or just for enough of what feels important — is that you definitely never will. The reason isn't that you haven't yet discovered the right time management tricks or supplied sufficient effort, or that you need to start getting up earlier, or that you're generally useless. It's that the underlying assumption is unwarranted: there's no reason to believe you'll ever feel 'on top of things,' or make time for everything that matters, simply by getting more done.

Additional quotes by Oliver Burkeman

Ceaseless optimism about the future only makes for a greater shock when things go wrong; by fighting to maintain only positive beliefs about the future, the positive thinker ends up being less prepared, and more acutely distressed, when things eventually happen that he can't persuade himself to believe are good.
