• Essentialism is not about how to get more things done, it's about how to the get the right things done. It doesn't mean just doing less for the sake of less either. It is about making the wisest possible investment of your time and energy in order to operate at our highest point of contribution by doing only what is essential.

• La palabra prioridad llegó al inglés en el siglo XIV. Era singular. Significaba lo primero o lo anterior. Se mantuvo en singular durante los quinientos años siguientes. Sólo en el siglo XX pluralizamos el término y empezamos a hablar de prioridades. Ilógicamente, pensamos que cambiando la palabra podríamos torcer la realidad. De algún modo, ahora podríamos tener varias cosas "primeras".

  32 Copiar cita

• The way of the Essentialist means living by design, not by default. Instead of making choices reactively, the Essentialist deliberately distinguishes the vital few from the trivial many, eliminates the non-essentials, and then removes obstacles so the essential things have clear, smooth passage. In other words, Essentialism is a disciplined, systematic approach for determining where our highest point of contribution lies, then making execution of those things almost effortless.
