The way of the Essentialist means living by design, not by default.And although many of them may be good, or even very good, the fact is that most are trivial and few are vital. There are far more activities and opportunities in the world than we have time and resources to invest in.The way of the Essentialist is the relentless pursuit of less but better.The basic value proposition of Essentialism: 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.
When a request comes in, ask yourself: "Is this the very most important thing I should be doing with my time and resources right now?".
"The wisdom of life consists in the elimination of non-essentials."-Lin Yutang.
