The permanent home of the book
This address always has the newest edition. Bookmark it. When the book gets updated, what you download here updates with it, at no cost, for as long as the book exists.
Free. A first name, an email, and about a minute.
The download
The book is the thing you read. The workbook is the thing you fill in. They are built from the same material, and chapter 3 of the book is the audit the workbook walks you through, so most people end up wanting both.
The full book. Start at chapter 1 and work down the ladder, or jump to the chapter that names the job currently eating your week.
The browser version does the arithmetic for you and remembers what you type in, on your own device. The PDF is the one to print.
Sixteen short modules with the exercises laid out to be finished, not admired. It adds up your hours as you go.
Works in any browser, on a phone as well as a laptop. Nothing to install.
The book and the workbook are on their way. If nothing turns up within a couple of minutes, look in your promotions or spam folder, and add the sender to your contacts so the next edition reaches you.
What is in it
Every chapter names one job you are doing by hand, walks you through handing it off, then asks you to time what came back. The chapters stack into five rungs, climbed in order, and the order is the method: admin first, because those wins are the fastest, and every rung you finish funds the nerve for the next one.
The first rung in detail, because it is the one you will climb this week. Chapter 6 is the thirty-minute install; the three after it each kill one job and leave a blank for what you measured.
Real pages, not mockups. This is what the four chapters actually look like when you open them.
Screenshots are from the actual file. The ranges the book quotes are what readers report, hedged every time they appear, and your own sheet is the number that counts.
Stay on the list
The book is a living edition. When a chapter gets sharper, or the step by step instructions change because a tool moved, that goes out as a new edition. Leave your address and you get a short note saying what changed, where the new one is, and which chapter is worth a second look.
Editions and the occasional note about the book. Nothing else, no passing your address to anyone, and every email has an unsubscribe link that works the first time you click it.
Why this exists
Passing it on
Put your name on it so they know who it is from, then hit the button. Your own email program opens with the note already written, and you send it from your address like any other email.
We never see who you send it to. Your email program does the sending, from your address, and their address never reaches us. You can edit every word before it goes.
What has changed
The reader-feedback revision. The central number is now the Reclaim Rate, the five rungs are named for the jobs they take off you, the front matter offers a fast way straight to chapter 6, every build chapter states its typical hours back right under the title, and two closing chapters covering the same idea became one, so the book is twenty-six chapters. Anything you already built keeps working; the scripts are unchanged where you pasted them.
The first complete edition: the five-rung ladder, every script, and the tally that adds your hours back up.
Chapters keep their numbers inside an edition. If something genuinely new has to go in between two chapters, it gets a letter, like 12A, so a number you wrote down still points at what you meant.
