Essentialism

Greg McKeown

McKeown's argument isn't doing fewer things faster but doing fewer things by design — the vital few over the important many. His discipline, 'if it isn't a clear yes, it is a clear no,' is the operating principle behind the Quarterly Operating System's Priority Cut: three circled Objectives and an avoid list, not a sorted stack. The book maps what it costs to operate without a cut, and why most smart people resist making one.
