Then read on!

Have you ever wondered how you could earn a living that would allow you to live and work anywhere in the world? Many people already living that dream shared the details of how they make a living in the recent Location Independent and Digital Nomad Survey.

The 4-Hour Workweek has created quite a buzz recently in the blogosphere. As you might have known, the book focuses on lifestyle design, which is designing your dream lifestyle with the least possible effort. It’s not necessary to wait until your retirement to live the lifestyle you want. In fact, doing so might waste 20-40 years of your life. Instead, you can live your dream lifestyle much, much sooner. Of course, you can do so only by having the right attitude, strategies, and tactics.

There are many things you can do to get more productive. Getting a 1-hour massage for $10 in the middle of the day is one of them. Luckily, there is more to productivity than massage. Ready to get serious?

Your productivity depends on three factors:
- Effectiveness (what's the value?)
- Efficiency (how fast are you?)
- Hours worked (how many hours do you work?)

In this article we explore how you can improve in each of these areas.

The first Getaway Party is about to start!!! We have three new participants here: Sebastien, Andreas and Brian. Because we wanted the best possible documentation for our parties - I mean our projects, we asked Brian to record us. He has his own film production company: Stik I Rend Film. And he's showing us today how to invite girls to a party. Are they gonna come? We don't know yet. But we're drinking already :)

ENVIRONMENT

- Have a good start in the day.
- Work when you work best. Even if it’s at 4am.
- Have a routine.
- Drink water, be healthy, exercise, take (power) naps.
- No TV. But music is allowed.
- Create the conditions of an open-space office. Make sure someone can see your monitor.

ANNOYANCES

During our first dinner together, Michael (our Chief Executive Chief of Leadership) said he would be -I quote- our “nasty mom”. I thought it was some kind of dirty fantasy involving MILF and possibly breastfeeding, but he just wanted to say that he would be on our back all the time to check if we’re productive.

It turns out that most people here are productive.

Day two at the Getaway Project. We arrived at our final destination in Seminyak and Michael has chosen for us one of those budget hotels for travelers. Nothing too fancy, just the essential. I mean, who would even consider having more than three swimming pools for -so far- nine participants? Three is just enough, I think...

When I first arrived at the Getaway Project, I thought I had volunteered not for an entrepreneur boot camp but for a Mormon seminar. Imagine a nice place (like, hmmm, Bali) with three swimming pools and villas that you’ll have to share with other people of your age and interests. Swimming pools? Blond guys? Cocktails? You got the picture. It’s like the beginning of a dirty real-tv show and you start wondering who’s gonna end up naked on Youtube...

After many months of preparation, interviews, negotiations and planning, Project Getaway has launched at last. And what a great launch!

Just 4 days ago, the entrepreneurial participants of the first mini Project Getaway all flew into and met in Bali.
