Yesterday I found an interesting post from Pamela Slim’s blog entitled Try “unwork” to cut your tasks in half and double your income where she claims that the notion “Work more to make more money” is outdated and in fact brings us away from happiness.

I was very surprised. I have many books about improving personal life, the road to success and getting rich, and all of them postulate the same mantra: “Work more to succeed!” Now I see that more people in the US start valuing the good life now instead of money and some hope of a good life forty years later.

I have always believed that the good manager should not work more than three hours a day. It sounds like heresy but I really believe that if you are a good manager then all your business should run as a well-lubricated machine and you wouldn’t have much tasks. All you would have to do is to solve some unpredicted problems. Most of the time you should communicate with people and think about the future development and improvement of your business.

I don’t understand how a manager can work fourteen hours a day and don’t accept it. In fact, it means you are not able to do your job if it takes so much!
