Meditations for Mortals by Oliver Burkeman

"Treat your to-read pile like a river, not a bucket...treating your "to read" pile like a river (a stream that flows past you, and from which you pluck a few choice items, here and there) instead of a bucket (which demands that you empty it)." - Oliver Burkeman
