 Someone who has bought the book
Hi All
Merry Christmas!! I have actually bought the book some months ago and loved it. It is true that everything everything everything is pretty common sense other than the "muse" section which, if you haven't delved into this kind of thing before, can be rather complex.
I did indeed find it helpful. I think we get caught up sometimes in the "hey, tell me something I DIDNT know" mode. Everything I used from the book that helped me, I already knew. So the question is .... "is something valuable if it tells you something you already know .... but aren't doing .... if it inspires you to do it?" My vote is yes. Sometimes we don't trust ourselves enough or the "tip" goes under the radar, etc.
I am spending less time in front of the computer now and getting more done as a result of following some of the practices Tim lays out. These are all things I already knew but just hadn't 'put together' yet.
The "outource your life" part was a little misleading in that I simply couldn't find someone for $5-$8 per hour. I actually signed up and experimented with all of the mentioned sources and $12 per hour was the cheapest, and only if I committed to a certain number of hours per month. I personally own a web design company and use scriptlance.com which is a "per project" bid and I HAVE had success with that one.
So all in all, this is one of those books, in my humble opinion, which can save you the cost of the book right away if you use even one or two "lifestyle design" changes. At the very least, it got me totally psyched and in a good place the whole time I was reading it. Helped me dream!!
