Essentialism : Book

The way of the Essentialist means living by design, not by default.
If you don't prioritize your life, someone else will.
Success can distract us from focusing on the essential things that produce success in the first place.
Our lives get cluttered as well-intended commitments and activities we've said yes to pile up.
Unless we have a system for purging them, once adopted, they live on in perpetuity.

Step 1. Explore
Step 2. Eliminate
Step 3. Execute
These three elements are not separate events as much as cyclical process.

Explore: How can we discern the trivial many from the vital few?
ESCAPE: The Perks of Being Unavailable
LOOK: See What Really Matters
PLAY: Embrace the Wisdom of Your Inner Child
SLEEP: Protect the Asset
SELECT: The Power of Extreme Criteria

Eliminate: How can we cut out the trivial many?
CLARIFY: One Decision That Makes a Thousand
DARE: The Power of a Graceful "No"
UNCOMMIT: Win Big by Cutting Your Losses
EDIT: The Invisible Art
LIMIT: The Freedom of Setting Boundaries

Execute: How can we make doing the vital few things almost effortless?
BUFFER: The Unfair Advantage
SUBTRACT: Bring Forth More by Removing Obstacles
PROGRESS: The Power of Small Wins
FLOW: The Genius of Routine
FOCUS: What's Important Now?
BE: The Essentialist Life
