Makes sense to me. I’ve been checking my email twice a day for the past couple of weeks and it makes a huge difference in my workflow. I get quite a bit more done. Let me know how it works for you.

I really like the idea of checking email only 2x’s a day…I’d add checking stats to that list, too!

Thanks for the info on Tim’s video, also. I just read Darren’s most recent interview with Tim, and I want to read the book as well.

That’s what I figured. When you go on in the interview, I think more of Tim’s depth comes forward. And you just can’t knock someone with a great point…there is too much information coming at us to manage so we need to know when and how to unplug.

Updates? You got it.

Well said, my friend.

It is unfortunate that in that the Scoble interview begins with that example of a friend of his outsourcing everything – including mediation with his wife and story time with his kids – just to see how far he could take it. I figured it would be something people would focus on without considering that he’s really talking about:

Pushing the limits of our beliefs around what is possible.

Make sure you give us an update on your blog as you read it.

Disengaging from a lifestyle that doesn’t serve you to live your best life, and setting in motion the one that does — that’s his message, as I see it.

(and by the way, he said he’d have titled the book, “The Two-Hour Workweek”, because that’s what he works… but he figured fewer people would take it seriously.)

I will definitely keep you informed.

And thanks for trusting me enough to follow through a bit more. I think Tim Ferriss has some interesting and useful ideas to increasing the quality of life. The key is to do it.

I’ve loved Covey’s work. Used it in many ways. Thanks for adding that in. How have you seen the Covery work make the biggest impact in your life?

Karen,

That’s what it’s all about – learning to control our impulses to waste time. How have you managed this?

John,

Thanks John. It’s on the way from Amazon. Can’t wait. I’m definitely ready for a shift like this.

What’s been the biggest shift you’ve made since finding Ferriss?

Thanks for the shout out. I would HIGHLY recommend picking up this book and start living it! Check your email twice a day and plan 1 big thing to accomplish each day and work on it like your life depends on it!

Keep in mind the 80/20 rule as well as think big and pickup that BMW, Porsche, etc car of your dreams!
