The 4-Hour Workweek (Expanded and Updated)

1 highlight In book order (location 1269)

💡 The takeaway

What this highlight points at One highlight, and it’s the whole engine of the book stated as a loop: limit tasks to the important to shorten work time (Pareto’s 80/20), AND shorten work time to force yourself back to only the important tasks (Parkinson’s Law — work expands to fill the time given it). Run both directions at once and each one tightens the other.
