You could listen to Gary Vaynerchuk:

Too many people don’t want to swallow the pill of working every day, every chance they get.

I hate to disappoint here, but if you’re looking for an easier time here, you’re barking up the wrong tree. There might be a little flexibility to your day should you be at liberty to devote yourself full-time to building your personal brand, but otherwise, assuming you’re doing this right, you’ll be bleeding out of your eyeballs at your computer.

- Gary Vaynerchuk “Crush It”

Or you could listen to Tim Ferriss:

Being busy is most often used as a guise for avoiding the few critically important but uncomfortable actions.  The options are almost limitless for creating “busyness”.

Believe it or not, it is not only possible to accomplish more by doing less, it is mandatory.  Enter the world of elimination.

- Tim Ferriss, “The Four Hour Work Week”

Both books are inspiring in their own way, and I suspect the answer is somewhere in between.

Happy Friday.
