The first part of the article is quite good. However, it follows an oriental point-of-view, if you know what I mean. Since I'm mainly influenced by ocidental cultures, I disagree with the main idea. However, like I said, it's a quite good article. The second part of the article is... I don't know. The fact is that the article is too big and I'm too lazy to read it. When I realized that, I started laughing, and I had to send you a comment. Cheers. Hello.

But I don't know how to get around the fact that there actually is a lot of work to be done (at least at my company) and as soon as I start falling behind on e-mails or following-up on tasks and status, things start to fall apart and I start to get angry e-mails, voice-mails and questions from my manager. In fact, a few minutes ago I just had to explain to my boss's boss why an exception form that he needed to sign wasn't presented to him until the last minute. Never mind that I just found out about this exception form today. This type of feedback tells me that I need to do more to stay on top of things - not less. Some days I just walk away from it all in order to enjoy my evening or the weekend, but inevitably it catches back up with me and I find that I have to work evenings or weekends to catch up. I'm sure others are in the same boat, right? I see the point about doing less and the need to relax and focus on just the most important work.
