Essentialism

#SundayReset

I am finally reading Essentialism.

It goes against everything we’re taught as new associates.

We instantly become yes-people. We are told not to say no to anything. So most of us don’t.

And, if you’re like me, you lose your sense of self in the process.

It also builds up: making saying no harder and harder over time.

But: “Saying no is its own leadership capability. It is not just a peripheral skill.”

Reading this book, I can feel my internal fear and indoctrination rise up and push back.

I know Greg McKeown is right, though. I know I need to cull and cull and cull, distilling it down to only what matters most.

Here’s to slowly integrating this mentality into my daily practice. Starting today.
