It is amazing how explain so many different types of situations. I do share similar question as John though, do you recommend the book to others?

That being said, the 20% I did get something out of was incredibly valuable. This is a concept I was familiar with before I read the book, but the way he applies it is quite unique, and even partway through the book I was already able to take his lessons and apply them to my life and job. At this point, I've already chopped a solid 20 hours or so of work from my week, leaving me with about 10 or so hours (I did some chopping beforehand, too, which is why I'm not cutting 20 hours from 60 hours :) I'd be interested to know if you've managed to apply any part of the principle to your life yet, and if so, with what results? .-= Colin Wright´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/exilelifestyle/~3/u7V0IZI8oOc/" rel="nofollow">How To See Like A Traveler All The Time</a> =-.

I’d be interested to know if you’ve managed to apply any part of the principle to your life yet, and if so, with what results?

This is in my "books" folder under my bookmarks, so I'll probably be picking it up soon. It's funny that you reviewed this today because I was about to record a video post from my blog talking about the PMBA, and I was going to mention how you are taking part in the program! .-= Nate´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.thewaythatyouwander.com/another-case-of-elimination/" rel="nofollow">Another case of elimination</a> =-.
