Effortless: Make It Easier to Do What Matters Most

The holy grail of human performance is tackled by Essentialism's New York Times bestselling author: how can we make it simpler to do the correct tasks?

If you had more energy, would you want to make progress towards any particular goal? Do you think that great effort is a prerequisite for anything worthwhile? Have you ever given up on a challenging but crucial task in favour of a simple but pointless one? Do you often feel overwhelmed by the increasing complexity around you?

You may be generating a lot more work for yourself than necessary if you answered "yes" to any of these questions.

Greg McKeown encouraged readers in his New York Times best-seller Essentialism to cut out unnecessary activities and concentrate on the few that really count. Since then, he has discussed the difficulties of implementing such ideas with thousands of readers. He has discovered that the issue is in the erroneous division that the complexity of contemporary life has produced between "essential and hard" and "easy and trivial" things. But what if the important chores were easier and the unimportant ones got harder? If the worthwhile endeavours turned into delightful endeavours, but the unimportant side ventures completely lost their allure?

McKeown provides tried-and-true methods in Effortless for making the most significant tasks the simplest. As an example, simplify your procedure by listing the bare minimal amount of stages.

- Solve issues before they arise to avoid issues down the road.

To let go of the need for perfection, find the "courage to be rubbish."

Leverage the best of what others know to expedite your learning.

By simplifying even the most difficult chores, we may achieve more important goals without becoming overwhelmed.
