π Essentialism Changed My Life
Apr 11, 2023If you asked me to recommend one book to everyone in the world--especially creative professionals--this would be it.
βEssentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less - by Greg McKeownβ
This book taught me so many things:
- How to say "no" early and often
- How to prioritize my needs over others
- How to remove work that doesn't excite me
- How to be more productive, but less busy
I began reading this one at a point in my life when I was stretched way too thin, and was hitting my breaking point.
Within days of reading it, I started to reclaim my space and time for myself. Today, if a new opportunity isn't a "hell, yeah", it's almost always a "no".
There's way more in this book than I can pack into a newsletter, so I highly recommend you check it out if my story sounds like yours. I promise you won't regret it β€οΈ
