Making creative space

Terry and I have been friends for quite a few years and a topic of a lot of our conversations either serious, or in jest, is productivity and productivity books, tools, and approaches.

He was telling me the other day about a book that had made an impact upon him called "The 4-hour work week" and, by golly, it has:

I immediately called Sprint and knocked $90 off my monthly cellular bill. I contacted my shopping cart service (for another site I run) and downgraded the service to a Basic package for a savings of $40 per month.

That $130 will get me a Basic-10 package at GetFriday.com, which includes 10 hours of labor per month for whatever tasks I need.

10 hours per month isn't a huge amount (although Terry is already looking for other fat to cut to generate more time) but if those 10+ hours clear away blocking tasks that you're just not doing they could be critical.

I'm going to be very interested to see how this works out.
