6 Rules to Work Less and Get More Accomplished

lifehack.org: "It’s impossible, right? In order to get more done, you need to invest more time. Working ten hour days will make you more accomplished than a colleague that only works seven. Studying three hours a day will get you better grades than the guy who skims through a few chapters before the test. More work = more results."

I love learning new tricks for time management (hey, it's a stage manager thing). Even though this article does not exactly apply to Dick or Susan's project, it would probably help us find more time to put into those or, dare i say, more sleep and free time?! Some of his ideas here are worth trying out. I like his direct point with the matter that leaves little room for making excuses.

I love to read articles like these, even though I find myself not being able to follow the rules exactly especially for design wise. I tend to be picky and think it over and over again even if it takes time. I tend to take my time for design projects. But that's just my take on it.
I would love to have more sleep though, and might just try to do so in various methods and find the best way to work around things even though I am a believer that everyone has his or her own methods of managing workload.

I love the lifehack articles, I have found that usually there is at least one or two things that seem like they would be useful. This article specifically I found very helpful because it takes a project based approach to completing tasks. I like the project approach to getting things done. I also agree with a lot of the suggestions in this article because they seem simple enough to do, and would actually have a significant impact on the work I can produce.
