Hallo Mark,

thanks for pointing the out – and I can see why you did, by I’m pretty sure I’m not a rock star.

Finola — very true, nice Kevin Kelly/Tim Ferris mashup!

My husband and I were talking about the 1000 fans and figured that to qualify for earning a good living off a small fan base here in the Caribbean, you’d probably get by with just 100 true fans – I mean, get by pretty well by general standards here, so although it’s hard to find those 100 in your island, getting them with the internet (even if you have to wait 6wks+ for your money) should be so do-able. 1000 and we’d be jetpacking round the moon.

And yes, naps are definitely a perk of working from home – and for me, a shower anytime I get too hot – course when I get my fans on-stream I’ll have AC.

Clay,
Your motivation to have your life your way cracks me up. I love it. One of the things I relish about working at home (not working in my pajamas – who wants to pad around like a schlub all day?) is the ability to take naps when I want. I learned long ago that if I don’t want to sit at the computer, a wee nap refreshes me and gives me ideas and direction for my projects. It’s much more effective than forcing myself to work.
I think all office spaces should be equipped with a nap room.
Waking without alarm,
Cynthia

Oh well it was good while it lasted.

Looks like Fight Club isn’t the only film I have to brush up on…

Bucktowndusty — excuse my ignorance but who is Peter Gibbons?

I’m sorry Mark, this is shocking… and I’m afraid I will no longer be able to work with you :

Cynthia — superheroes welcome as well as rock stars! Thanks for an inspiring story, particularly to me as a coach.

Finola — yes, God bless the Internet!

people who want things to change badly enough will find ways to get it done.

Exactly.

Clay — you’re welcome. GTD = getting to dreams.

Thanks for the shout out! I love this site.

As odd as it sounds, (almost) the entire basis of my designed life revolves around sleep. I want to wake up when I want, take a nap when I want, etc.

Great article!
