Currently reading "The 4-Hour Week" by Timothy Ferriss
Fascinating account of how to outsource your life to the point that you hardly need work more than 4 hours a week.
Very American in attitude and not at all reserved about telling you, the reader, how brilliant he is but  once you have cut through the bullsh*t there are some good lifestyle tips and a few nuggets of real information.
I used to have a handle on life but it broke.

I am also reading The Life Audit in an attempt to stream line my life so it goes with ease. Why the hell do these things always have to start with making sodding charts!?!

Because they are designed for dozy americans with the attention span of a brain damaged goldfish. Pictures, charts and glove puppets are the only way to get the message across  whistle:
The universe is run by the complex interweaving of three elements. Energy, matter, and enlightened self-interest.

Try "Getting a Life" by Polly Ghazi and Judy Jones.
Only one chart in the whole book. It also has the advantage of being written by two ex-staff journalists from the Guardian (no spelling mistake jokes needed thank you) which means they are Brits and the book is intended for the UK market so no dumb Yankee Advice about getting in touch with your inner self and that sort of crap. I've had the book a couple ot three years now so it may not still be available but have a look on Amazon.
The ISBN is 0 340 68485 2 and it's published by Hodder and Stoughton in 1997
If you can't get hold of it email me and I'll loan you my copy.
It's full of good stuff and does not involve selling up, engaging Phil and Kirsty to buy you a small holding in Wales or any of that crap.

Hmmm interesting. Off to see if I can track it down. Although a small holding in Wales sounds quite tempting actually!
