Comments on: 5 Time management tricks I learned from years of hating Tim Ferriss http://blog.penelopetrunk.com/2009/01/08/5-time-management-tricks-i-learned-from-years-of-hating-tim-ferriss/ Advice at the intersection of work and life Sun, 21 Mar 2010 06:44:20 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc hourly 1 By: Elisabeth http://blog.penelopetrunk.com/2009/01/08/5-time-management-tricks-i-learned-from-years-of-hating-tim-ferriss/comment-page-11/#comment-224196 Elisabeth Thu, 18 Mar 2010 06:54:39 +0000 http://blog.penelopetrunk.com/?p=1906#comment-224196 #3 is hilarious! And #4 also makes a very important point... I read the first edition of 4HWW. Bought the second when it came out and haven't gotten around to even opening it yet. I clearly need to manage my time better. Just as clearly, I'm also way off my 4-hour work week goal (or even a 20-hour work week goal). BTW, 585 comments??? Wow! #3 is hilarious!

I gotta love you for that and all the honesty, all the humor (I know you were serious but you sound like a kitten trying to scratch a little dog's a**. I definitely love that fact that you don't like him though, and that hatred turned out to be of positive result on your end. That is a skill that everyone must have, hating is often destructive. In your case, it was miraculously helpful. You have done a great job and you prove yourself worthy of the time we spent, unlike what Tim did to you.lol Jonha Penelope,

"Love her for this" ... you are finding inspiration in this low ball writing, that does not speak well for you my friend. This is the most worthless piece of writing that I have ever seen. For it to be totally premised around Tim and the authors feelings about him .... I can actually see why your book did not work out. Dont mean to be mean about it, but then you did mention that we should call things for what they are. This is b**t, and I can assure you that I am not a Tim supporter or a Tim stooge or whatever Tim you are so scared. Let us see if you approve this and live by what you said above.

Or it it best to just let it sit...step over it and get on with your life? When you see shit, is it best to pick it up and show everyone, and say "hey, look at this shit…it's shit"?

Based on your personal experience with him, I highly doubt he's someone I should get to know. Anyways, I hate people that are full of sh*t. Thanks for the warning. Tim who?
