- Exercise 30 to 60 minutes a day, followed by sex or weed. If you're too cheap for a gym, do the ghetto workout!

- Only check your email once per day at most (extreme example: haven't checked or send an email well over a year ... I ignore emails from list subscribers, AM managers, potential customers and blog readers)

- Read your blogs once a week in one sitting

- Use the Cloud. (Google calendar, docs, excel etc)

- Simple is better. Forgo fancy tools if there's an simple alternative.

"If you want to beat up a hooker, go for a jab instead of a spinning back fist".

Likewise, don't over complicate a project, so you'll have a faster rate of implementation. (failure to success etc)
 


one thing i got outta 4 hr workweek was making the small to do lists on a piece of paper folded 4 times.

write down 4 or 5 things you need to do that day, the most important things. and then give yourself very short time limits to do them. set a timer or use E.gg Timer - simple online countdown timer

Example:
1. Create 2 new sets of ads for campaign (10 minutes)
2. setup landing page for new media buy (5 minutes)
3. check lp split test (3 minutes)
4. check incoming wires (8 minutes)

you'll be surprised at how much shit you can get done in a few minutes if you just focus and go. i can literally do a full days set of tasks in an hour or less.

I gotta agree with using the online egg timer. It's amazing how much time slips away without focus.

Using a timer really made me realize how I LOVE to drift off in-between projects.
