Description

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 The problem with constantly trying to increase volume is that it doesn’t always produce the best results. Doing more things means you’re likely to do a lot of unimportant things, and you’ll be overworked and stressed at the same time.
#2 The Japanese poetry known as the haiku has a couple of lessons to teach us about why less is powerful. The haiku is a nature-related poem of just seventeen syllables written in three lines. It requires the poet to convey an entire idea or image in only those seventeen syllables.
#3 When it comes to your work life, you can be like the first reporter and crank out lots of tasks, which will likely get you a lot done. However, you can also be like the second reporter and choose to do fewer things but with more impact.
#4 The lessons of the haiku, such as applying limitations to force choices, and choosing the essential and finding the Power of Less, can be applied to your life in general. If there is anything in your life that is overwhelming you, apply limitations.

Insights from Chapter 1

#1

The problem with constantly trying to increase volume is that it doesn’t always produce the best results. Doing more things means you’re likely to do a lot of unimportant things, and you’ll be overworked and stressed at the same time.

#2

The Japanese poetry known as the haiku has a couple of lessons to teach us about why less is powerful. The haiku is a nature-related poem of just seventeen syllables written in three lines. It requires the poet to convey an entire idea or image in only those seventeen syllables.

#3

When it comes to your work life, you can be like the first reporter and crank out lots of tasks, which will likely get you a lot done. However, you can also be like the second reporter and choose to do fewer things but with more impact.

#4

The lessons of the haiku, such as applying limitations to force choices, and choosing the essential and finding the Power of Less, can be applied to your life in general. If there is anything in your life that is overwhelming you, apply limitations.

#5

Our entire lives are like a shopping trip without limits. We live without limits, which can seem fun at first, but eventually it becomes too much. We don’t have enough room for everything, and we can’t handle the stress of trying to do everything.

#6

When you start setting limits on everything you do, you’ll find that your life becomes more manageable and less stressful. You’ll be able to focus on the important things in your life instead of trying to do everything and not having enough time for the important things.

#7

You should start by limiting one area of your life at a time. This should be an area that you feel is overloaded or needs improvement. You should limit e-mail, for example, or the amount of time you spend on the phone, or the number of projects you have on your plate.

#8

When you first set a limit on something, it will be an arbitrary number. But setting limits isn't just pulling a random number out of a hat; it's based on your experience with that type of activity and on what you think your ideal is.

#9

Choosing the essential is the key to simplifying. Once you know what’s essential, you can reduce your projects, tasks, stream of incoming information, commitments, and clutter. You just have to eliminate everything that’s not essential.
