#52 - How To Do Less But Accomplish More With Essentialism

On this week's episode, I discuss a great quote from the book I'm currently reading called Essentialism. Here's the quote:

Only once you give yourself permission to stop trying to do it all, to stop saying yes to everyone, can you make your highest contribution towards the things that really matter. -Greg McKeown

These days, everyone seems to be overwhelmed, including me. I take on too many projects and it's easy to get stressed out by trying to do everything.

Fortunately, there's a way out: essentialism.

No it's not always going to be easy, but it is very simple. Figure out exactly what you want to do and where you want to be, and eliminate everything that isn't essential to reaching those goals.

Getting rid of all the non-essentials allows you to completely focus on the one single priority that is the most important right now. And that's how you'll learn how to work better and put your energy in the best place possible.

So give this short episode a listen and hear my thoughts on this awesome quote. Enjoy!
