Instapaper is part of my daily information flow – a huge part. I’ve written some thoughts about Instapaper in the past, and recommend it fully. However, Milind Alvares of Smoking Apples wrote up such a fantastic review of the service that I simply must share it with you. Here’s a snippet:

Instapaper is not about urgency, and its design philosophy speaks about its intended use. There are no unread counts, anywhere. You don’t have to read something now, if you don’t want to. It will always be there, and that’s okay. Just flick through the list, which can go as long as you want, and pick something you like. If you start reading an article, and find that you aren’t in the mood for that kind of article, Instapaper will remember your position in that article the next time you open it. Heck, the new Instapaper even syncs your position across your devices.

This defines what I love about Instapaper more eloquently than I could ever hope to. Instapaper lets me set aside articles to read later, when I have time – but it never pressures me. I can read when I want to… on my own schedule.

Recently I downloaded an ebook called “The Zero Hour Workweek” , written by Jonathan Mead of Illuminated Mind. The concept behind the book is getting paid to be yourself – an interesting concept. After all, put into practice, it would eliminate the traditional 40-60 hour work week that most of us have become accustomed to.

In reality, the book unfolds a bit differently. Obviously no one is technically going to pay you just to exist. You must create something of value, or else you will starve. What the Zero Hour Workweek does push you towards, is doing work that you love. If you truly, truly love what you do, the line between work and non-work becomes blurred. Sure, you’ll be working the same amount or more, but it simply won’t feel like work.

Now that, I can get on board with. I’ve always worked long hours, often more than I’d truly like. If I was doing something that I loved, full time, it wouldn’t feel so bad. I wouldn’t dread getting up on Monday to trudge off to work. Imagine how much simpler life would be, without all that stress.

This ebook is free, so there’s no cost to read it, except for your time. At 60 pages, it will take some time, to be sure. I’m glad I did though, as Jonathan has a great perspective on life. Go ahead and download The Zero Hour Workweek today and get reading.
