I recently heard Tim Ferris (author of the 4-Hour Work Week) interviewed. He was asked the question that I would have asked if I got to talk to him. Something along the lines of “Given your output you clearly don’t just work four hours a week. What’s that all about?”

His answer has been bouncing around my head ever since. He said that a 4-hour work week is a metaphor (who knew?) for being 10 times more productive. A way of asking the question of how can I produce what normally takes 40 hours in 4?
