How a spreadsheet and a kitchen timer eliminated 40 hours of my work week. [DFHW: Living the 4-Hour Work Week]
In a few past posts, I mentioned that my primary task towards achieving the goals of the Four Hour Work Week is to reduce my 60+ hour work week down to 20. As evidenced by my recent trip to Denmark and Sweden, I was able to successfully do so. Of course, the big question is [...]
