YOU: "I've already 10x'd my life, but I still feel like I could be doing MORE..."

ME: "Have you ever thought about 1,000x'ing your life?"

YOU: "Um...no. That actually sounds kind of dangerous."

ME: "It probably is, forget I said anything."

YOU: "Well, maybe I could just download the Kindle sample*..."

YOU: (defiant) "No one tells me what to not-read!" (downloads sample for free to binge-read)

Brian's easily the most efficient person I've ever met…I’ve seen him solve problems with quick, creative solutions nearly as many times as I've seen him meditate on something for a couple of days and come back with a brilliant plan to optimize workflow. If anybody knows how to hack life and make it run smoother, it's Brian Stegner.

TOM ZALATNAI
Executive Producer, UpfordNetwork.com

Brian has never, in my experience with him, failed to deliver exactly what was asked on-time and almost always much better than I asked. When you ask him how he does it, he simply smiles his bearded all-knowing smile. Here are some of his ninja secrets of executing quickly and efficiently.

DAVE LONG
Continuous Improvement Manager in a Forbes Global 2000 Company

One of the best experiences I had while living in Montreal was meeting Brian. His friendship, wisdom, and observing firsthand the sheer volume of creative work he accomplishes on a daily basis left an indelible impression in my life...The approach and concepts Brian has shared with me over the years have been invaluable to my profession as a Program Manager as well as my personal life.

EMILIO RIVERA
Program Manager in the Aerospace & Manufacturing Industries

If you’re looking to move your business, non-profit, or life goals into warp-speed without burning out look no further! Brian has mastered the art of a productive life without the nasty side-effects. I have benefited from his life hacks for years and now, in his newest book, so can you.

ANDY STEIGER
Founder & Director of Apologetics Canada; Author of Thinking?: Answering Life's Five Biggest Questions

If I think about it...I realize that most of the productivity skills I have developed over the last seven years have come as a result of Brian Stegner’s work…You would do well to devour this book and implement these principles into your life as fast as you can…

DWIGHT BERNIER
Director for Acts 29 Canada; Author of ONE: A Gospel Guide to Pre-Marriage Counseling

If you want to do something well and you want to do it quickly, see how Brian Stegner is doing it…I have watched Brian Stegner do significantly more than most people with seemingly less effort. He knows how to do many things well, to do them quickly, and somehow he continues to increase his efficiency. Brian is someone I'd turn to for help in a range of subjects, but efficiency in execution of tasks more than any other.

Revenge of the Scoby...

Refusing to drink of its byproducts, I had totally forgotten about the Scoby until one day my wife asked for my help in ‘feeding’ it. Apparently it had become too heavy for her to lift on her own.

(If that line doesn’t give you pause, you’re not paying attention.)

“How heavy can that little film thing be?” I asked myself.

Horror.
