Have you ever found yourself stretched too thin?
Do you simultaneously feel overworked and underutilized?
Are you often busy but not productive?
Do you feel like your time is constantly being hijacked by other people’s agendas?
If you answered yes to any of these, the way out is the Way of the Essentialist.
The Way of the Essentialist isn’t about getting more done in less time. It’s about getting only the right things done. It is not a time management strategy, or a productivity technique. It is a systematic discipline for discerning what is absolutely essential, then eliminating everything that is not, so we can make the highest possible contribution towards the things that really matter.
By forcing us to apply a more selective criteria for what is Essential, the disciplined pursuit of less empowers us to reclaim control of our own choices about where to spend our precious time and energy – instead of giving others the implicit permission to choose for us.
Essentialism is not one more thing – it’s a whole new way of doing everything. A must-read for any leader, manager, or individual who wants to learn who to do less, but better, in every area of their lives, Essentialism is a movement whose time has come.
1p 专注可以通向成功;但成功会带来太多的选择和机会,其结果是最初通向成功的那个专注点土崩瓦解…精要主义就是要打破这种用忙碌衡量成功的浅见。 2p 盲目地追求更多→自律地追求更少:通过选择性接受任务,为自己赢得空间,进而找到创造的自由。 3p 人们觉得他们进展快速,但...
评分1. 最开始,以为这本书讲的,是要停止社交网络、打游戏,而专注于手头的事 因为最近一直停不住玩手机,所以想着拿来读读 但讲的不是这个 2. 那这本书讲的什么? 不是放弃小事(比如说不刷豆瓣、微博,不打Doat和三国杀),而是放弃大事,放弃good的机会,只做excellent的事情。...
评分 评分事业规划断舍离实践手册,我想这大概是向别人介绍《精要主义》的最省力的说法。 因为看完整本书,那个明确而且坚定的“不”字,感觉绕梁三日不散,最重要的是你要舍弃什么东西,也许是杂务,也许是任务,也许是你眼里的机会。当然在作者麦吉沃恩看来,所有和目标无关...
评分Less is more
评分There’s nothing groundbreaking in this book. I wish the author had practiced essentialism when writing it - it drones on and on for almost 300 pages about the merits and examples of essentialism without giving any actionable advice. This guy clearly isn’t what he claimed he was!
评分3 action items (what i realized that putting in action items is more helpful to internalize the content of the book) 1. Say no firmly, resolutely and gracefully. 2. Block the time to reflect, explore the priority. 3. Evaluate the value based on here and now.
评分An essential choice of lifestyle.
评分Planning fallacy 那一段非常能够联系到自己身上……
