#052: 1 Year Anniversary Special Edition: Essentialism What is the Essence of Your Life?

My goal this week is to encourage you to embrace essentialism. Essentialism is the art of disciplining your self to want less, use less, and do less. You know less is more. My friend Josh Simmons turned me on to Greg McKeown new book Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less.

Essentialism

The key is doing only a few really great things. Multitasking is the enemy. So today I’ll share four conclusion I’ve made for myself about become a better “essentialist.

Here’s the link to the book: Essentialism by Greg McKeown.

Today is also the ‘Hyped Up’ 52nd Episode and One Year Anniversary Episode!!!
