20 Hour Workweek for Telecommuters
Web Worker Daily is covering a fantastic piece of research indicating that telecommuters may only need to work 20 hours a week in the future. That is definitely some research I can get behind.
“As the need to employ skilled staff from demographics unable or unwilling to work 40 hours a week increases, Prentice believes the “20-hour-per-week job description” will emerge, describing roles that can be successfully accomplished in half the normal time. Catering to this crowd will help organizations attract and retain the workers they want.”
Interview with Tim Ferris about the 4 Hour Workweek
Lifehack has a great little interview with Tim Ferris about his new book, the 4 Hour Workweek which is a blazing best seller. For those who do not know, Tim Ferris is a hyper-successful young man that makes millions, surfs constantly, speaks 6 languages and travels around the world. Some would see that he is taking telecommuting to the next level.
“If you heard of a new book called The 4-Hour Workweek, you know who is Timothy Ferriss. Tim speaks six languages, runs a multinational firm from wireless locations worldwide, a national champion in Chinese kickboxing, and has been a popular guest lecturer at Princeton University since 2003. Recently his book caught my attention. The title itself is very attractive to me who work at least 40 hours per week (if not more). There are positive reviews about the book around blogosphere, and it is currently on #9 of the Amazon best-seller list. So I sent him a quick email to setup this interview and just get to know him more.”
