One of his most important points was that once we have taken on a commitment, prioritising does not work because we need to do everything relating to that commitment. In the six years since he wrote the book as he has reached thousands of people through writing, seminars and coaching, he has continued to develop and refine his methods . He has now perfected even more effective methods of getting everything done through the introduction of some radical new ideas, including closed lists, the manyana principle and the "will do" list. He is brilliant at helping people to use new forms of communication effectively so that they do not become a tyrant. The result is a complete system which will enable almost anyone to complete one day's work in one day.

Not only was the country he'd fought for broken, his wife and son were murdered. By 2096 he was finally starting to move on from his losses, living a comfortable life of seclusion in a part of the Pacific Northwest known as the Free. Then he finds himself stuck with Sierra and Quinn, the twin thirteen-year-old orphans he'd saved from the jipper couple hired to kidnap them.

As fate would have it, a super-soldier and two kids whose combined abilities could save the country-and maybe Earth-are going to be hard to separate.
