Since this is the House of Slack, I think it would make sense to talk about some ways to bring Slack into you life. One of the best education al tools for this would be reading the book "The 4-Hour Workweek” by Tim Ferriss. I personally own a Kindle and Audible copy of this book and while some of the things in this book do not meet my lifestyle, I found some valuable information in it.
I have the benefit of not having to be tied to an office most of the time, so I was already part of the way there. I have used some of the techniques outlined in the book to be able to manage time on my own terms and keep work at arms length. While I may not have a 4 hour work week, I can honestly say I work about 4 hours a day, and get paid very well for it. This frees me up to spend more time with my family, and SLACK! There are plenty of options for the more driven individual as far as building your own business and such. I did go down the rat hole of the 30 day challenge, but I don’t necessarily believe in the SEO thing, and believe that it ruins the internet for people that are looking for real information. I digress, and will talk about that another time.
I chose to not make use of my time during the day that I am not doing work to slack off, and generally do nothing other than surf the web. One might contend that this activity can be done from the comfort of any office or cube, but I prefer to do it from the comfort of my own couch. Plus I can do other things, and I don’t have to spend as much money on gas or lunches.
So I say check out Tim Ferriss’ blog!
