best advice I ever had on time mgmt was to read 'how to live on 24 hours a day ' www.gutenberg.org/etext/2274 - excellent advice even though written over 100 years ago.

only other thing would be to see how a VA would work to make your life better

but like all things in life you will reach a plateau, you can only refine something so far!

good luck, sounds like you are doing well!



I couldn't help noticing:

a) No time allotted for bathing. It's up at 9am, breakfast, then to work. None implied in the evening. I wonder how often 1890s English officeworkers bathed...

b) No time allotted for housekeeping. I suppose that was the job of the wife or the servants

Interesting read, though. The idea of doing exercises to build concentration is almost Buddhist.


Further to this point. I went over to the link and found my way to an iphone app ( free ) to read free books including titles from the gutenberg.

I also want to add, you can set the reader to display as "terminal" which means im reading this book green text, black background.


Already have a VA :)

Thanks for the book recommendation!


its a great book, but the jist of it is wake early, spend time doing what you really want to, learn when you can.

trying to figure myself at the moment exactly what a VA could do for me. can't open my work email to them until I am self employed so just trying to figure whatever they could streamline for me.

my other time saver tip is instapaper and instantly for android. read the blogs I love when I have the time.


what does VA stand for?


virtual assistant
