Hello I am extremely intrigued by this book I am reading: "Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less" by Greg McKeown.
Whereas methodologies like GTD and tools like MLO seem to be a way of juggling shifting priorities and being efficient about what you take on and getting through it better. Greg McKeown has a radically different take on efficiency. He asks us to actually take on LESS. McKeown asks us to take on less, MUCH less in a very deliberate, disciplined way. And that by doing so we will regain control of our health, well-being and happiness. The core idea behind this is that most of what we are asked to do is BS and that we can actually achieve a lot more by taking on a lot less. McKeown says that it's extremely easy for our efforts to become spread way, way too thin, leading to stress, burn-out because we feel that we all need to "do everything". He claims that clarity of focus and the ability to say 'no' are both critical and undervalued in business and life in general today. Fwiw, Michael Hyatt - (productivity guru - he of 250K twitt followers) said "it is the best book he's read in the last 5 years" http://michaelhyatt.com/essentialism.html Have any of you good people here read it? If so what do you make of it? J -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MyLifeOrganized" group.
