Tim Ferriss’s book The 4 Hour Work Week is a modern day classic.
It opened my eyes to the fact that there are ways to do the 9 to 5
differently.
And to pay tribute, I’m thinking of bringing out a book of my own.
I’m going to call it The 144 Hour Work Week: How To Stay Chained To Your Desk, Conform To The Traditional Concept Of Success And Sacrifice Your Personal Freedom.
Here’s a sneak peek of the
lowlights:
- Hire a virtual assistant from the Philippines. Identify this person’s most time-consuming tasks, then add them to your workload
- Follow Oterap’s Principle wherever you can.
Prioritise the 80% of tasks that will give you 20% of the results you crave
- Make yourself as available as possible. Answer the phone whenever someone calls. Reply to messages as soon as you receive them. Return all emails within 90 seconds
- Spend all your time improving and fixing your weaknesses. Spend as little time as possible using your strengths
- Hold out for the perfect moment to take a mini-retirement, go travelling, start a side hustle or quit your job.
After all, the perfect moment is just around the corner
What do you think? A future New York Times bestseller?
That’s all for today.
Have a great weekend.
