The 4-Hour Workweek: Escape 9-5,
Live Anywhere, and Join the New
Rich by Timothy Ferriss
Inspiring!
What do you do? Tim Ferriss has trouble answering the question.
Depending on when you ask this
controversial Princeton University guest lecturer, he might answer:
―I race motorcycles in Europe.‖
―I ski in the Andes.‖
―I scuba dive in Panama.‖
―I dance tango in Buenos Aires.‖
He has spent more than five years learning the secrets of the New Rich, a
fast-growing subculture who has abandoned the ―deferred-life plan‖ and
instead mastered the new currencies—time and mobility—to create luxury
lifestyles in the here and now.
Whether you are an overworked employee or an entrepreneur trapped in
your own business, this book is the compass for a new and revolutionary
world. Join Tim Ferriss as he teaches you:

and do whatever you want

A new approach for sure. Maybe controversial, but take the things you find
helpful and leave the rest.
First I have been working diligently on de cluttering my personal and
business life. I have read so many simplifying and de-cluttering and
efficiency books I almost have a clutter problem with all the books on the
subject. (Cured that recently too with the Kindle 2.)
I run three business. One brick and morter and two online. I was getting
over four hundred emails a day and was drowning in mail and spam. So I
utilized ideas / suggestions from several sources to cure my problems.
From the Four Hour Workweek by Timothy Ferriss we started using
detailed faqs lists on our websites and an auto-responder that answered
many questions so we would no longer have to reply to as many emails.
For the ones we do answer the questions are predictable and we saved
the answers as email drafts that way we just cut and paste and all done.
For the Spam we ran our eight email accounts into one google mail as they
have the best spam filters and you can reply from the email address to
which the mail was sent so they dont know that anything is happening. And
suggestions from the life hacker Upgrade Your Life: The Lifehacker Guide
to Working Smarter, Faster, Better by Gina Tripani has some interesting
ideas for sure.
Keeping your inbox empty we use suggestions from Stress Less and Zen
to Done by Leo Babauta and you would not believe how much better you
feel when things are under control. But it is you who must Work the system
or you will be overwhelmed again.
A much more detailed program is used in Getting Things Done David Allen
book, but the above is kind of the simplified version that I currently prefer.
And for just getting rid of all the clutter in your life any of the books from
Peter Walsh, How to Organize (Just About) Everything, and Enough
Already, are great even though they tend to recover some of the material
from his other books somewhat but thats not a big deal since the info is
worth repeating. Another good author but she covers pretty muc h the
same thing is Julie Morgenstern. The books by Koch on the 80/20 principle
are also worth looking into. For the paper clutter in my life I have a digital
sender scanner and have scanned over four full file cabinets into Adobe
PDF computer files. I have done this with pictures too as you can also
save them info Jpeg and Jiff files. While there are tons more books out
there and I seem to have most of them, these are the best to get things
under control and to get you the time to do the things that matter to you.
