just read this as a comment on adage. really got me thinking. how do you want to spend yours?
We have 24 hours a day. How do I want to spend them? SLEEP - 8 hours. EXERCISE - 2 hours. EATING - 3 hours. INTIMACY/CONNECTION WITH SPOUSE (either physical, intellectual, emotional, or combination of them all) - 2 hours. CONNECTION WITH FRIENDS (either in person, over email, phone, etc) - 1.5 hours. CREATIVE INPUTS (including listening to music, looking at art, reading, or watching tv or movies) - 2 hrs. CREATIVE OUTPUTS (including writing, playing an instrument, drawing, etc.) - 2 hrs. QUALITY TIME WITH MY KIDS - 2 hrs. That leaves about an 1.5 hrs for...volunteering, errands, chores, monitoring investments, posting comments on AdAge.com(!), etc. This is just an example of how fast you can use up 24 hours in a day without exchanging any of your time for money. Sometimes these categories can be combined, or shifted around during a week. Sometimes the unexpected gets in the way. But in no situation is there enough time for earning money.

in terms of practical application, i was unimpressed with that book. of course it's an enticing premise, but i found the advice to be predicated on rather unethical business arrangements (such as: find a niche business/product, outsource the work to india or china).
...it seemed like a well-written infomerical to me. he does however present an interesting perspective on working life and the ideology behind being "rich" and makes you examine your definition of rich. for that alone it was worth the read, but don't expect to have trimmed off 36 hours of your work week by the time you're done.

I...
sleep until I'm no longer tired,
eat whenever I'm hungry,
work as much as I need to,
play whenever I'm bored,
sex or fap as much as possible,
and never wear a watch.
