The 4 hour workweek is not about doing less work - and it's not a book to show you a shortcuts, and it does introduce some very interesting ideas regarding lifestyle design, and doing more of what you want to do. I agree with Chris completely, and love the video - but is productivity by volume the real measure? Is being effective and being efficient the same thing? (No. not in my mind...) Being effective is doing anything (regardless of time spent) that gets you closer to your goals - being efficient is being able to get to a zero inbox in 3 hours a day through folders and filters and other GTD hacks... </soapbox> Sorry for the rant - hope you all don't hate on me...

I guess you have been preparing for this for a long time, but like you said, a year ago you were doing nothing like you are today.
