Essentialism

Have you ever felt stretched too thin? Have you ever found yourself majoring in minor activities?

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

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

Instead of making choices reactively, the Essentialist deliberately distinguishes the vital few from the trivial many.

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

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

The more we think about what we are giving up when we say yes to someone, the easier it is to say no.

Instead of asking, 'Is there a chance I will wear this someday in the future?' you ask more disciplined, tough questions: 'Do I love this?'

When they have a high level of clarity, they are capable of greater breakthroughs and innovations.

More effort does not necessarily yield more results. 'Less but better' does.
