Everett Bogue - The Minimalist Workday: 50 Strategies for Working Less

So your sitting at your desk and your daydreaming about ways to opt-out of your job for a better life. You want to stop the endless hours of work for low pay. You know you already have one of the worst boss around, and you already feel hostage by the corporate system. Try as you might, you can't seem to wring your head enough to come up with ways to escape your hell hole. What do you do?

A Free E-book written by Everett Bogue may have the answers you are looking for. There are insights here worth reading and for the right price. If it doesn't suit you, well...it's still free.

I have read the book myself and, I must say, he has made a lot of good points. I even agree with him in saying that much of our time is wasted, sitting at a desk, doing stupid work that doesn’t matter. In fact, he takes things so boldly as to quit his day job, to live with less than 100 things, and to reduce his work load to 2 hours a day for his own profitable business.

I know, it is kinda extreme for some of us. If you're fond of self-help books and inspirational materials, like I am, then you'll know he's simply pointing out certain things that other authors already have. Some of the same themes he discusses are about reducing the clutter in your life and simplifying, focusing on what matters most, and managing your time effectively. You can, however, admire him for doing what other people haven't done so. And that is to actually practice those principles for real then living a stress-free life.

"When you’re working for 2 hours, you have to really bang it out. Make the stuff that matters, sweat on your work until you can’t see clearly anymore. Burn yourself with your ideas. Just work so freakin’ hard that you can’t find your hands anymore. Then stop after 2 hours an go get a beer. That is how you work 2 hours a day."
