Do Some Dreaming With The 4-Hour Workweek spreadsheet

Tags Goals and Goal Setting, Tools 0 comments

Jared Goralnick created a pretty cool “Dreamline Worksheet” based on Timithy Ferriss’s book The 4-Hour Workweek. (see my mini- review of the book here.)

The worksheet looks to be a well-thought out Excel spreadsheet that is attractive as well as functional. You can enter your dreams for having, being and doing on page 1 and do a budget on page 2.

“It’s been almost eight months since 4-Hour Workweek Dreamline spreadsheet; it’s been both an inspiring (many success stories) and enlightening (many helpful suggestions) time. I’ve used much of the feedback that I’ve received to create a new version, which you can download below.

The most noteworthy new feature is allowing both one-time and monthly expenses. In the previous version, one had to determine the monthly cost of each of their goals. Now one can enter the full cost and the spreadsheet will divide that total by the number of months for the Dreamline…”
