Essentialism

The wisdom of life consists in the elimination of non-essentials.

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 toward the things that really matter.

If you don’t prioritize your life, someone else will.

The way of the Essentialist is the path to being in control of our own choices.

Essentialism is not about how to get more things done; it’s about how to get the right things done.

To ignore the reality of trade-offs is to risk wasting your time, energy, and effort.

The way of the Essentialist means living by design, not by default.

If you don’t prioritize your life, someone else will.

When we forfeit our right to choose, someone else will choose for us.

We can either make our choices deliberately or allow other people’s agendas to control our lives.
