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.
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...
評分 評分读毕,对精要主义有几点理解。 第一,精要主要的内涵,也就是精要主义者的核心思维模式。 只做必做之事,尽可能做出最明智的时间和精力投资,从而达到个人贡献峰值。 第二,养成方法。 探索--排除--执行。 探索哪些事项是无意义的,哪些事项是有意义的。 排除掉那些无意义事项...
評分11年前的2005年,我还是一名猎头顾问,内部培训时讲师说过句话,我今天都记得。她说:“任务来的时候,你要先想能不能不干!”这对于接受说“是”教育20多年的我是个非常大的冲击。那天之后,我一直刻意这么做。《精要主义》再次确认了此做法非常非常正确。 本书讲的是如何通过...
評分2019.12.31 一讀✅ 做個簡單的人,追求少而精的事。喜歡#1書裡問題(那些需要思考然而我並不知道答案);#2一些改變觀念的理念;#3一些具體的有參考價值的案例和實踐建議。值得再讀。
评分這本講“精要”的書,寫瞭近300頁,但實際上30頁就能講得清清楚楚。
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inspiring
评分An essential choice of lifestyle.
