Interactive Session on
Action Management
17 July 2015

Doing less meaningless work, so that you can focus
on things on greater personal importance is NOT
laziness. This is hard for most people to accept,
because our culture tends to reward personal
sacrifice instead of personal productivity.
Timothy Ferriss
