Four Hour Work Week
Four hour work week – How to accomplish this!
Find out how to work a lot less and enjoy life a lot more! Tim Ferriss’s short six minute video tells us how to escape the 9-5 grind and have a four hour work week.
Tim reminds us that life doesn’t have to be so hard. Here are his three simple steps you can take to escape the rat race entirely, not just win it.
Process of elimination
In order to work less and not have everything fall apart, you’ll have to quantify the 20% of activities that are producing 80% of your desired outcomes. Also take that time to determine the 20% of events and people who consume 80% of your time. Use this principle for everything – customers, work tasks, but also personal chores, even for friends. The goal here is to find inefficiencies in order to eliminate them. This will also help find your strengths in order to multiply them.
Cultivating selective ignorance
Keeping abreast all the new developments in any field will consume all of your time – being all input and no output. You can’t possible digest all that information. So a much more effective approach is to try a catch up when need be, as appose to keeping up at all times. A big part of selective ignorance is learning to let things wait. For example: emails – setting up an automatic response letting people know that you will be checking your emails at a specific time, and that if it’s urgent to call you. This will allow you to start and finish tasks, without any unimportant interruptions.
Outsourcing your life
To get started, you firstly need to replace the very obsolete concept of annual income, which is a very deceptive metric of hourly income. People are generally hesitate to delegate or outsource because they feel they can do something themselves for free, this being very inaccurate. Tim goes into much more detail, breaking it down for you to understand.
