Hiya :jI feel great - slightly shattered from the hard mattress at the hotel I was in last night (not the Ely one, a different one) .... but I actually unpacked and got my suitcase away before I even sat down for a cup of tea, thats how energised I feel :j definitely not drained.

Hi FW! I did have a great time, thank you, you were very much in my mind, actually, because of reading Tim's book ...

DEFINE - yes, there are lots of things that I can dreamline that excite me - I'm quite an excitable person sometimes

ELIMINATE - Oh I had fun thinking about this - and this afternoon, instead of just deleting the useless emails as I was catching up on my inbox, I was unsubscribing :j which felt great. There are a lot of little accounts I need to close with a metaphorical tuppence ha'penny in them. Though quite a few of the things that Tim recommends, any good mse'er has already done, to cut down expenses. And as a good declutterer, I've done a lot of it on that level too - but there's always more. Quite a lot more, in my case

AUTOMATE - I could get more of my affairs online, my fuel and my credit card for instance, but I won't be outsourcing to India just yet. Tim's outlines aren't quite relevant to me in full yet because of that gap in my income - as he says himself, its no good earning $100 an hour if you only work one hour! But whatever I can automate, and whatever I can make routine, I will. The concept of batching, I've just started to do it myself in the last few weeks in relation to the post (open 2 or 3 days post in one go, to make sorting and answering more efficient) so I'm absolutely going to make that a routine.

LIBERATE - I handed in my notice at the London therapy rooms where I practise last month - in a fortnight, I'll be finishing in London under the current circumstances, probably forever, and although its been brought about by fewer clients, I'm ecstatic about it - I gain so many hours per Friday, which will make it much easier to start trading.

Oh, and I've drafted a new outline for a book about the therapy work I do - I meant to write one twenty years ago or so, but starting the business was much, much more demanding than I thought it would be. Now is the right time for that - I love writing about it.

Coming home today was a model of how I want things to be - I've done everything I wanted to do, except open the post - focus!

And now I'm going to focus on cooking a quick meal, and downloading Total Wipeout

Lula! I took so long I crossposted - lovely to see you, I must check your diary before I close down. Its true, I feel great - just to be well again, and to have a little trip away, is wonderful, and to have a map and a set of principles for the way forward is even better.

Morning! Don't know if I'm *quite* that fast, DT, but thank you anyway Today, I'm off to my sister's, to help her with her paperwork - to take over for her, truth be told, so not my own stuff today. Though, partly thanks to The Book I've made the decision not to renew my tv licence - I do have a leetle bit of an addictive personality, and the only way to not get sucked into channel hopping each night to find something to watch, is to not watch at all. If there's something I really want to watch, I can download it. I have boxes of DVDs to watch - and when my friend visited recently, she bought me the first season of Smallville as a pressie and an email friend sent me a copy of the latest TV movie starring The Shanks so there's quite a bit to be getting on with.

El, as to the book, I was chuffed at the level of detail in it, I half expected quite a lot of fluff, but was very pleasantly surprised at that. What is it you aren't impressed with? I love the emphasis that you want to live the millionaire lifestyle, not be a millionaire, and also save all you need, but don't defer your life until you retire - but he's saying it quite forcefully I'd be interested to hear what you think tho.

Anyway, first example of how not having a tv helps - this morning, instead of sitting down looking at the news clutching a cup of tea, I emptied out my jewellery box to look for a bracelet my mum gave me 30 years ago, which I'd forgotten about as I don't wear jewellery (found it), and then I opened my post. Didn't rush at either, but it was a much more valuable and positive use of my time. Happy camper here :T

On the iphone here so bare with me


I agree with all those bits and like the way he is looking at things ( so far) i think its probably ( for me anyway) more just the americanisms of the book more than anything else .... I would love to read something by either yourself , hypno or firewalker on the subject ... I think it would be more palpable for me

Will try and explain in more depth later
