<ol><li>What do you need to eliminate? Your old mindset about time management. </li><li>Once you define your goal and you understand how much money you need to make it happen, you’ll find the source of that income. The source won’t be the work in the office. </li><li>Remember: your goal is not building a multimillion-dollar empire. It’s about living a stress-free life that lets you experience the most of it. </li></ol>

2. Elimination 

<ol><li>Ferriss recommends techniques for cultivating selective ignorance. </li><li>You won’t be spending time on processing information you don’t need. </li><li>You’ll start ignoring things that are not important. </li><li>You’ll learn how to value your time . </li><li>Experts also recommend that changing one’s morning drill can improve your day’s productivity. </li><li>By <a href="https://blog.cake.hr/wake-up-in-the-morning/">following an efficient routine in the morning</a>, it can help save entrepreneurs and remote workers more hours. </li></ol>

Every day would be like a mini vacation if you followed the 4-hour workweek. </li><li>Timothy Ferriss, an American author and entrepreneur, says that is possible. His book, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/4-Hour-Workweek-Escape-Live-Anywhere/dp/0307465357">The 4-Hour Workweek: Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich</a>, changed many people’s lives. </li><li>In its basis, The 4-Hour Workweek is a productivity concept. The author himself tested it. He went from making $40,000 per year on an 80-hour workweek to making $40,000 per month on a 4-hour workweek. </li><li>When I read the book, I realized it was more realistic and actionable than I expected. </li></ol>
