I could use a lesson on "you don't have to do everything". I think that's a huge issue for lots of folks. Looks like a great read, thanks for sharing! .-= Tracy´s last post: The retirement horse…rounding the bend =-.

Thanks for the review. I saw that the book had been released and don’t think I am in the position to buy anything for a few months (keeping a really tight ship whilst I build an emergency fund) but it’s something I may grab when things loosen a little…

“We want to accomplish so much, but trying to do it all at once just spreads you way too thin.”

Exactly.

Baker suggests that we stop and become aware of what we’re doing, rather than just going through the motions. One example he cites is calculating your real hourly wage:

“…examine the “sneaky” expenses that are associated with your work…You may be shocked at how much money you are actually bringing home for an hour of your time.”

I think we can all agree that we are at work “deliberately.” We got up that morning, put on our clothes, and drove to the office. But I would say that the majority of us do this without actually considering the bigger picture. And that’s what I believe Baker is driving at.

It’s something that I learned from Leo @ Zen Habits, and found it to be so true in my own life. We want to accomplish so much, but trying to do it all at once just spreads you way too thin. Patience & a good mental “trash can” are essential!

Is the author saying people don’t earn deliberately?

I’m not sure how one would earn otherwise.

I've purchased my copy! I haven't had time to delve into just yet, but I am very excited about doing so! .-= Lakita (PFJourney)´s last post: Manners & Money: Gift Registries =-.

“Focus: Ditching the “you have to do everything” mentality.” Sounds like a chapter I need to read. I love his blog, I just may have to check it out!
