Ari Meisel calls himself an "achievement architect" who helps people achieve their goals and life in an efficient manner. There is so much going on in our lives with the constant flow of information, too many responsibilities, and too many thoughts running through our heads. No wonder so many men and women are sleep-deprived: they don't know how to turn off the deluge that is drowning them.
In this easy-to-read paperback, Meisel lays out his philosophy of doing less and living more. There are technological resources available to help us achieve this goal. Here are some of the ones he discusses:
• Optimizing and automating time-consuming tasks through tracking tools such as RescueTime and iDoneThis.
• Having Followup.cc assist you in keeping up with your email: it is an automatic e-mail reminder service.
• Outsourcing errands and day-to-day duties by setting up a Virtual Assistant (using Zirtual or Fancy Hands).
• Creating an external brain to do your lower thinking for you.
Other innovative ideas for streamlining your life and becoming more efficient include doing things in batches and checking out 13 tech tools for a paper-free life. In the final section of the paperback, Miesel takes a look at wellness and cutting down the amount of stress in your life through fitness, sleep, and nutrition.
