How do you prioritize things in your life when everything seems so important? The key is essentialism.<\/p>\n<p>Joining the podcast today is Greg McKeown, Author of Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less. Greg relates to the struggle of many entrepreneurs and investors: too many options, not enough time. Instead of telling you to wake up at 5 AM, take a cold shower and work until 10PM, he presents a far more effective (and simple) approach.<\/p>\n<p>What Greg suggests: pick the things you care most about, do them, and don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t worry about the rest. But how do you pick when everything seems essential?<\/p>\n<p>The answer: almost everything else besides your core cares\/needs aren\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t essential. If you begin to treat the non-essential as essential, you stretch yourself too thin, not allowing you the time to accomplish what truly is&#8230;essential.<\/p>\n<p>In the modern age, many of us feel like we don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have time to accomplish everything we want. When we get laser-focused and put the principles of essentialism in our daily lives, we can accomplish more than ever.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Your agent is calling you to show you houses, your boss is emailing you about some work to do, your partner wants to grab dinner, and you want to take a nap.
