I start the new week with giving you excellent reading tips. Yes, I feel a bit lazy today, and I do admit it. However, the content I give you links for is worth your clicks.
In my Get More Done posts I have written about the importance of handling email the right way rather than getting overwhelmed by email.
Tim Ferris (↑), author of the
4-hour-workweek goes one step further. He even outsources the handling of all of his email (about 1,000 emails per day) and only spend 10 minutes with it a day. Sounds cool?

What’s my background as a writer? This is the one area I feel confident writing about, as writing has been the core of my being since middle school — for the last 23 years or so.

Okay, that should be enough reading for you for the day.
