Tim Ferriss is one one of the Mind Masters that I have been getting sone tips from and one of the topics that he brings into light is "elimination". Basically as part of what he teaches in the "4 Hour Work Week" course, he discusses that there are items in our lives that we can do without or that we can remove in order for us to enjoy the rest of the items that we tend to neglect because of the menial "stuff" that we have scattered in our lives.
As a proof of what Tim means, he brings about Parkinson's Law, which to my understanding states that the effort for us to get things done expands proportionally to the time we give ourselves to do the task. So basically this law is the underlying principle of procastination. If we set a deadline several days ahead for a task we can do in lnstantly, we tend to spread or put off the work to meet the deadline.
Just for an example a task that I had set Friday last week to be completed Thursday this week, I ended up completing in,a couple of hours on the day of the deadline, forcing myself to cram and finish as the task needs to be completed, as it was a mjor dependency. I procastinated and let the task slip off. I would have to improve more on this aspect and prove less a law well proven already.
