4-Hour Work Week: System Reset

So, on the first night of SXSW this year, I met and took a picture of this random guy at the blogher meetup. He was touting his yet to be published book called "The 4 Hour Work Week." I didn't think much of it. In fact, I may have actively poo-pooed the concept arguing that, of course Tim could do the 4-hour work week, he'd already made his millions.

Last weekend in San Francisco, I ran into Tim again. He was giving away copies of the book at Element Lounge during MJ's Web 2.0 Birthday party and I picked up one still being a non-believer. But, you know, Tim's an interesting guy and we had a brief but intriguing conversation so, in one of the few quiet moments of the weekend, I cracked it open.

I'm a believer now and, today, I'm dreamlining.

4 Things I want to have:

1. *Hip Hop Abs
2. The BMW 2007 M6 Convertible
3. Weekly Cleaning & Laundry Service
4. Complete DJ rig

5 Things I want to be:

1. A Chess Tournament Champion
2. *A Club DJ
3. A Great(er) Lover
4. Fluent in Spanish
5. Fluent in Tagalog

1. Visit Greece
2. *Write the Saunders Family History
3. *Live in San Francisco
4. See Bjork live in concert
5. Make a Documentary

Now, you may remember that I got on the 101/1001 train a few years ago (and failed miserably at it) so this whole list thing makes me a little nervous but I'll explain why this is way more effective and useful in the next post.
