- Does multi-tasking work?
- Why do I always seem to be working?
- How can I get more time to do more of what I want?
In our career-sensitive and job-competitive time, the ‘natural’ inclination is to take on more and work longer hours. But is there an alternative? Can you design a lifestyle you love?
“ It’s Monday morning and your To-Do list for the day is lengthy. You turn on your computer, log into your inbox, and…spend the next six hours starting, stopping and backtracking, your To-Do list untouched.”…
I recommend this free eBook to all who could relate to the above.

I ‘ve read the full book “4 hours work week”. At first it was quite exciting to read about different approach of this guy Ferris. But the thing is – he worked 100 hours per week before he managed to reorganize his business.
Thanks for the comment Alex. Yes the author was caught in the endless cycle of activity, and it takes a focussed effort to reverse the way we approach things. For me, it is a constant reminder to “simplify” and focus on one big important thing at a time and not allow distractions from the lesser things. I have also been caught in the information overload life for a while.
