RE: Things I Learned From the '4 Hour Work Week'
If we could meet our basic needs with 10 hour work week, that would be great! But for the vast majority of us, the economy just doenst support having a even a 10 hour work week. To say that we could delegate work to other people, would imply that they are working on our dime. Which means we are employing them wouldn't it?
Now I love the idea of a mini retirement! That is something I'm going to try and implement next year. I dont mind getting fired either!
Indeed a 10 hour work week would be incredible for pretty much everyone is it can be achieved. I think the main point regarding time usage is to do the most work with the least amount of time even if that means delegating or hiring employees to do the work for you. Obviously this means you will have added responsibilities in terms of managing your employees, and being someone else's boss obviously isn't an easy, overnight task. But reducing workload while maintaining a very comfortable lifestyle is possible.
mini retirements are awesome, and I think they are actually essential to remaining sane!
