Curiosity is Killing this Cat!
I’m just reading the most important book of my adult life. The 4-Hour Workweek by Timothy Ferriss. I recommend it more than any other book. You must read it!
Yeh, it shows you how to get down to a 4 hour workweek, but don’t judge it by that and think that’s impossible. It’s about how we use our time, and how we distract ourselves, it’s incredibly practical with suggested tasks to try, and highlighting what’s not working for us, and what’s most important in our lives.
For me, it’s my curiosity which takes me to newspapers, news, websites. It’s killing me, I’m burning up time.
I had thought about getting more into the psychology of why we waste so much time, but this book bypasses all that by just getting on with it. I reckon this book is the foundation layer below Getting Things Done. GTD allows you to gather all that’s in your mind and give you the option on when you deal with each thing. The 4 hour Workweek gets rid of 4/5ths of everything!!
You don’t believe me? Read the book.
Just a few things I’m implementing. A no-media diet for a week, no newspapers, books, news, feeds. Email at midday and late afternoon. What do I do now, nothing to distract me!! No multi-tasking, oops, slipped up on that one, writing this! I’ll write some more in another post soon.
