If you have not read the book, the 4-Hour Workweek by Tim Ferris, you must. It is great for anyone looking to improve their time management skills. Although you will not likely use most of what is in the book, just putting in place one or two principles he discusses can dramatically improve your time management skills.
The main subject of this book is lifestyle design. Tim talks about not living a deferred lifestyle, one in which you put your dreams on hold until retirement, but one where you live a life with everyday you are working toward or enjoying one of your goals.
Another main subject of this book, one for it is most popular, is outsourcing your life. He talks about using assistants, and cheap virtual assistants to help allow yourself to focus your big tasks, and have the assistants deal with the routine stuff.
Also in the book, Tim Ferriss talks heavily about the Pareto Principle. This principle states that 20% of what you do is responsible for 80% of our results. Tim tells us to use this principle for everything, both our work and personal life. He urges us to cut out the 80% of what we do that only account for 20% of our results, and only focus on the main tasks that get results.
