Inside The Book Essentialism By Greg Mckeown
The book was published in 2014 by the author Greg Mckeown. The book is a million-copy bestseller. The ideas that were shared in the book were amazing. The book is focused on the essential tasks that you have to accomplish to reach your goal. That is why the name of the book is Essentialism.
The book says, Living Life by Design Not By Default. That means we shouldn’t waste our time doing random things; we need to focus on the essential tasks that can give the best outcome according to our life goals.
One of the things that came from the book is Paretto Principle. I think some of you have already heard about this. If you didn’t, let me explain. Suppose you can have one hundred tasks to finish, but ten important tasks can give more outcomes than the other ninety tasks.
That is what Paretto Principle teaches us. Essentialism says it too. Our energy and focus power aren’t unlimited. So we need to invest the energy and focus on limited things that matter in our life.
But the challenge is to identify tasks and things that matter in our life if you think that you are stuck in so many tasks and burn out of energy. And if you can not invest your energy into things that matter.
If you are unsure how to identify important things, then apply a method used in this book. The method is elimination. You have to eliminate things that do not matter to focus on things that matter.
This book can help you with amazing ideas already been shared in the book. If you are struggling to accomplish the tasks that matter in your life, I recommend reading this book.
