Step 1:
D is for Definition
![Page 3: The Four Hour Workweek](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042714/55668a81d8b42a51558b4923/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Divorce yourself from the idea of working yourself to death for a gold watch and a pat
on the back.

Abandon the concept of retirement as a holy grail
![Page 5: The Four Hour Workweek](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042714/55668a81d8b42a51558b4923/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Instead of absolute income (how much you make per year), focus on relative income
(how much you make vs. your actual effort).
![Page 6: The Four Hour Workweek](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042714/55668a81d8b42a51558b4923/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Spend 5 minutes to define your dream.
![Page 7: The Four Hour Workweek](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042714/55668a81d8b42a51558b4923/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Spend 5 minutes defining the worst thing that could happen if you followed that
dream.
![Page 8: The Four Hour Workweek](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042714/55668a81d8b42a51558b4923/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Is the possible nightmare bad enough to abandon your dream?
![Page 9: The Four Hour Workweek](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042714/55668a81d8b42a51558b4923/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Step 2:
E is for Elimination
![Page 10: The Four Hour Workweek](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042714/55668a81d8b42a51558b4923/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Make your to-do list for tomorrow before you finish today.
![Page 11: The Four Hour Workweek](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042714/55668a81d8b42a51558b4923/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
When you add an item to this list, ask yourself if you would view a day as
productive if that’s the only thing on the list that you got done.
![Page 12: The Four Hour Workweek](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042714/55668a81d8b42a51558b4923/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Then, when you start in the morning, just attack that list with vigor knowing that all of
the stuff is worthwhile.
