One of the things that struck me (as I've often struggled with it, as will be demonstrated shortly) about Tim Ferris's advice on achieving a four hour workweek is the need to stay absolutely focused on the main objective and not getting distracted.  One of the most salient points in the book is when he was talking about attending meetings in Corporate America that are dragging on and losing focus.  He said something to the effect of, "Get the bleep out of there!"  Now, even though I don't like profanity, the message of his statement struck a chord -- "Hurry, save yourself!  Get out of there now, before it's too late!!!"  Not only does that apply in the halls of time-wasting Corporate America, but more generally in life.  Still, I found myself on a recent Saturday drenched in used motor oil, throwing a wrench across the garage, and regretting my loss of focus, while trying to change the oil in my two vehicles.  The one vehicle had no clearance under it to so much as turn a wrench, and on the other one, I forgot that the integrated funnel on the used oil container needed to be moved from its stored location to an opening in the container.  This led to oil, like rainwater, running down my driveway.  (Don’t tell the EPA.)  For a few more bucks, I could’ve had someone else do the dirty work while I focused on more important things --  Oil change at Wal-Mart: $25.  Focusing in the meanwhile on getting to the Five Hour Workweek, so that I can avoid the vast majority of such frustration in the future: Pricless.  I guess it’s time to stop blogging, and get to work.
