Learning to replace the perception of time famine with appreciation of time abundance is like going from triple espressos to decaf.

Quote explanation

The 4 Hour Work Week is a book about lifestyle, automation, and reducing your work time to enjoy your idle/free time.

But, as humans, we aren't used to having too much idle time. Even if we have a free afternoon, we usually keep looking for something to do in order to feel "productive" or "useful".

That's where Tim Ferriss uses this quote to give an example of those heavy coffee drinkers deciding to go decaf. It will be hard, and it's not easy to keep pushing. But you'll get used to it slowly.

This quote is hand-picked from The 4-Hour Workweek: Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich.
