Setting up fake eBay auctions and canceling at the last minute to test marketability. Having your virtual assistant do everything, including apologize to your spouse for you.
Good tips on how to clearly give your VA their assignment to eliminate confusion and the back-and-forth emailing, and how to get busy people to give a couple minutes of their time. But a lot of the advice and anecdotes here seem questionable.

Slack off at work for a few weeks, lie about being sick, and be super productive during your sick days so you can tell your boss you got so much more done at home even though you “felt terrible.” As you negotiate working more and more days remotely, continue to slack off in the office to appear more productive at home.

Protect your time...by lying to coworkers about being swamped.
Talk to your teachers about improving your grade...by manipulating/annoying them into giving you an A on future tests.

He was in the Tango World Championship semifinals, after 5 intense months with his partner (compared to the competition’s average 15 years). He won the Chinese Kickboxing National Championships by training 4 weeks, finding a rule loophole, and winning on a technicality. I guess he gets bored fast and wants to conquer something new RIGHT NOW, caring about the trophy more than doing fun things for their own sake.

He keeps talking about taking mini-retirements and living on the beach...but hasn’t said anything about how to do that. He’s talked a lot about why, and about how great it is to not be a 9-5 slave...but how do you just afford to quit your job and travel? I don’t know yet. He hasn’t said. I don’t think he’s even mentioned a 4-hour workweek yet.

So far it’s been two hours of not really saying anything. He’s really hammering home that 9-5 is for chumps and that people don’t take chances on their dreams because they fear the unknown. Is the unknown really worse than the miserable 9-5 you already know?
