Most effective business builders are governed by an internal clock — an internal sense of urgency — that pushes us forward and compels us to achieve outcomes beyond the average mere mortal.
The downside is that we never feel like we’ve achieved everything we wanted to at the end of any given day. And time-sucking distractions can send us into a funk of frustration and rage.
In this short tutorial, James Tuckerman shares the techniques and processes that he has used to largely ‘outsource’ his working life — how he goes about removing annoying, rinse and repeat tasks from his daily workload.

MEET THE MENTOR, JAMES TUCKERMAN
James Tuckerman is widely recognised as one of Australia’s most accomplished digital publishers. He’s an entrepreneur, angel investor, growth hacker for hire and professional speaker. He is best known for launching Anthill Magazine, in 2003, from the spare bedroom of his parents’ home. He was then 26 years of age. In early 2009, he reinvented the Anthill business model, abandoning its print origins in favour of a 100% digital product. Within six-months, AnthillOnline.com was listed by Nielsen Online Ratings among the Top 50 Business & Finance websites in Australia. Since then, he has launched numerous digital ventures and helped other companies, large and small, make the transition online or helped them significantly improve their online commercial outcomes.
