A Must Read for Busy People
It seems everyone has too much to do. The statement of "I am so busy" is a badge of honor. But have you ever thought doing less would lead to doing more? This is the foundational mindset of this book. This book was a quick read, and a needed book for all people. We are always connected, always in touch, and perhaps always distracted from that which counts. Too ofte, we allow the little to overtake the important. This book provides motivation and tools to refine your life to one that is dedicated to the major shifts of your priorities. "If you do not prioritize your life, someone else will." There are four major phrases to being an essentialism. The author walks your through those phrases, and provides help in accomplishing them. Because we are in a societal shift. "For the first time— literally— substantial and rapidly growing numbers of people have choices. For the first time, they will have to manage themselves. And society is totally unprepared for it.” Here is another interesting insight. "The word priority came into the English language in the 1400s. It was singular. It meant the very first or prior thing. It stayed singular for the next five hundred years. Only in the 1900s did we pluralize the term and start talking about priorities." Because of these factors, people need to be intentional about time and focus. This book does a great job of helping in this skill. This is a book that I highly recommend because it is highly needed.
