			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Quick question&#8230; In my podcast, I use a lot of humor. The humor is almost always tangential to the actual point. After all, how funny are file folders? Not very. But file folders being used as emergency underwear? Er, hilarious.</p>
<p>Work Less and Do More is shaping up to be a book of a great many chapters or sections, each of which has a concrete tip. As I write, I&#8217;m having doubts about the humor-to-content ratio. In the podcast, about half the content is humor and attitude, and half is content. In a book, this seems too high on the humor for me.</p>
<p>Do people want more humor or more time spent on the content? Content seems pretty dry to me, but then, humor can feel overbearing if it&#8217;s hundreds of pages.</p>
<p>What do you think? You&#8217;re (hopefully) going to be my readers. Your thoughts appreciated!</p>
