The not so original “The 4-Hour Workweek”

Have you read The 4-Hour Workweek? I did! And I found it to be quite a nice book to read. It has so many cool ideas about how to manage your time and life. I even recommended it to some of my friends and colleges.

But afterwards I watched a lecture by Randy Pausch (more about his CV and about dramatic experience he is passing through right now on Wikipedia) about Time Management. And all of Tim’s ideas were there….. all of them. But Randy’s seminar was in 1998….. 8 years before Tim’s book. Check it out:

If you have read The 4-Hour Workweek you may find some of the ideas a little bit familiar :

• How to handle email
• How to do less stuff
• How to avoid interruptions and meetings
• How to get more vacations
• Low Information diet (don’t watch TV, read less etc)
• Delegate as long as you can
• Money are relative ….. to time
