A couple questions Ferriss asks himself on a regular basis, from here:
1. What is the one constraint, if removed, that would make me 5, 10, or 20 times as productive? Ditto for private life.
2. What if I had to do this in 15 min., how would I define it or delegate - what would I do?
3. What is the downside if I lose this person for 3 months, 6 months, or forever - did I need them before I considered them necessary?
Comments:
1. Important.
2. Beware of short-term long-term tradeoffs when asking these kinds of questions. You might be able to do something in much less time that works, but has longer-term effects that often make it worth spending more time in the beginning.
