The path to simplicity or how to see the main thing and start to achieve more with less effort

... The path of the essentialist is a constant search for the lesser but the best. Discipline plays a crucial role. It is important not just to remember this principle sometimes, but to stick to it in everything ...

The wisdom is to remove all that is unimportant from your life.

The path of the essentialist is not to promise myself: “From the first of January, I will say“ no ”more often,” and not to finally clean the Inbox folder in the mail, and not even to search for yourself a new time management strategy. The Essentialist constantly asks himself the question: “Is this what I do?” There are so many opportunities and deeds in the world that we don’t have enough time or resources for everything. And let many of them seem interesting to us, really only a few are needed. The path of the essentialist teaches us to see what is really important, that is, to consider all existing options and choose only the most valuable ones.

Essentialism does not help you do more things, but teaches how to choose the right classes. But at the same time, you are not doing less just to do less. Essentialism is the ability to wisely invest your time and energy in extremely important things to achieve maximum efficiency.

The Essentialist does not learn from his own mistakes, but carefully plans his life to avoid them. He does not take decisions instinctively, but deliberately chooses several of the most important tasks from dozens of tasks and seeks to accomplish them. The path of the essentialist is always straight and light. In other words, essentialism is a disciplined and systematic approach that allows you to determine the most effective points of effort. If you learn to do it right, then the task itself will be almost no work.

An essentialist who follows his own way controls his actions. Therefore, this principle leads to new levels of success and significance. He allows us not only to enjoy the result, but also to enjoy the movement towards him.
