Ari Meisel, author of "Less Doing, More Living," says you'd be able to stay more focused and do better work if you could free your mind of mundane-but-important chores, tasks and errands that eat up your time and attention. Ari cured himself of Crohn's disease using a strict regimen of exercise, nutrition and yoga, so he knows something about eliminating distractions and staying on task.
