The part I found most useful:

Recently, I have been practicing a new time management technique and I am calling it the “Minimum Viable Daily Tasks”. Here is how it works: Choose the minimum amount of work that needs to be done everyday so that you have a big smile on your face when you are heading home in the evening. If you accomplish anything more then it is a bonus.

It's hard to call that bad advice... it most certainly is great, until you have nothing left to do that makes you happy. At that point you might either consider yourself a failure or realize that this just is not realistic.

Jobs have ups and downs, and no situation is perfect for anything, whether it's raising kids or maintaining your own particular sanity. Expecting a prescription for "being happy while doing thing x I have not done" to work for you is setting yourself up for failure.

Normally I'd say this is likely to help many people a bit along the way, but raising kids might be the only thing too personal and individual to warrant any kind of "well hey this worked for entrepreneur X in The Ess Vee so it should work for me."

I think the point was that setting a goal and accomplishing it puts a smile on your face, not that the particulars were enjoyable per se.

Isn't that called "low-hanging fruit"?
