Pareto Productivity Secrets: How To Succeed By Being Lazy and Doing (Almost) Nothing, Using the Power of the 80/20 Principle

"They" don't want you to know these secrets.

Because "they" want you to sit down, shut up and do as you're told.

"They" don't want you to rock the boat (and they've convinced you that that's what you want, too).
"They" want you to be slave.
But you deserve to be free.

Your time has come. It came the moment you found this book.
When the student is ready, the master will appear...

You don't need some bullshit, convoluted system to help you get it done.
You don't need new buzzwords and crazy lingo.
You don't need to "master your workflow".
You don't need to "prioritize your action items".
You don't need to work through your inbox.
You don't need to "manage your stress".
You don't need bullshit fucking purpose/mission statements.
You don't need another seminar.
You definitely don't need to multitask.

And you don't need to tame or corral your schedule as if it were some kind of farm animal: you need to get off the farm. In fact, you need to get out of agriculture altogether.

Sun Zi, author of "The Art of War" and perhaps the original management consultant, put it best when he said: "...to win one hundred victories in one hundred battles is not the acme of skill. To subdue the enemy without fighting is the acme of skill."

You need to stop fighting. Because you're not gonna win. And even if you did win, you'd still lose, just like Pyrrhus of Epirus. Google that shit.

"Somebody should tell us, right at the start of our lives, that we are dying. Then we might live life to the limit, every minute of every day. Do it! I say. Whatever you want to do, do it now! There are only so many tomorrows."
-- Michael Landon, awesome dead actor ("Highway to Heaven" among others)

You are dying. Not today, not tomorrow, not next year. Not even the year after that. But still. You are dying. It's a cliche, but it's true.

You don't need to stop procrastinating. You need a life that makes you not want to procrastinate on shit. And you're not gonna get there by being good at the life you have now, because that will only get you more of what you've got. The reward for doing well at this life you've got right now will be (wait for it)...more of the same shit.

You see, shit left undone is a symptom. Getting shit done (or trying to) is treating a symptom while ignoring the root cause of the ailment, that being that you have a life that you hate and that makes you want to run away from it.

It's sorta like cholesterol. The average doctor today sees a high cholesterol score and then treats it by prescribing statin drugs that lower cholesterol. And statins do that just great. It's essentially the medical equivalent of "treating" an automobile's flashing fuel gauge by covering it with duct tape.

Hey, no more flashing, right?

Riiiight....

Procrastination, overwhelm, "disorganization", piled up to-do's, unanswered calls and unanswered emails are your life's gas light. And they say all one thing: you're living a life that you hate, doing things you hate doing with people you hate doing it with, and you need to stop doing that.

Even if you could cover up the gas light through undying devotion to some organization system, ya shouldn't.

You don't need tools, tips, techniques and tricks.
You don't need a planner.
You don't need an app.
You don't even need a pen and paper.

You don't need more time.
You don't need more resources.
You don't need more speed.

What you need is something else altogether.

Come learn what it is (and how to use it).
