Essentialism by Greg McKeown : Book Summary
ORIGINAL BOOK DESCRIPTION:
Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less by Greg McKeown
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. It's about doing less, but better, in every area of our lives. Essentialism is a movement whose time has come.

This book is my top recommendation during the WFH times specially when we felt WFH would be a relief but we tend up working a lot more during this time .Essentialism says choose vital few over trivial many and that stayed with me . I am still unable to implement the learnings completely but I am getting betterHere are few notes from the book :1. You always have a choice : Explore , eliminate based on the essence 2. sleep is the new status symbol3. If you don't set boundaries there won't be any 4. if it is not a definitive yes , it's a no !
