Work only four hours a week with Tim Ferriss has a 50 minute interview with Tim Ferriss, author of The 4-Hour Workweek. Tim has a blog connected to the book.
The interview is really interesting, there is a discussion about time management and things like how to handle email. It makes you think about your own workload. I for one do a bit more than four hours a week…
One question raised in the interview is “are you busy or are you productive?” Focusing on the right things makes a huge difference. The Pareto principle (also known as the 80-20 rule) states that, for many phenomena, 80% of the consequences stem from 20% of the causes. In other words, find the 20% of your work that really makes a difference and cut down on the other 80%.
