I just read a great book by Timothy Ferriss called The 4-Hour Workweek
So you’d really need a lot of help to get to this point. I’d need a lot of housekeeping help, help with dinners and someone to clean up after all my pets. So if you are only working 4 hours a week, you are really going to have a lot of extra time.
I’d probably end up working more because I like to work. Maybe I could then work on things that were more interesting than home maintenance and chores. If you like what you are doing, is it work? Not sure.
I have noticed though than when I check my email lees or later in the day I get more done. When I go on vacation and take my computer along I hardly ever check the email. Of course then there is a huge pile of it when you finally log on again.
One thing I used to do at work is file a week worth of email into a folder. Then after another week passed I’d delete the whole thing. I did have a sort for direct emails from my bosses though. But there were only a few of them and that is manageable.
One thing he teaches is to stop looking at email all the time. It’s fairly addictive in my opinion. Save time – Ditch your email to become more productive.
