Publisher's Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

From the internationally best-selling author of Essentialism comes a guide to making the most important tasks effortless.

The intricacy of modern life has created a false dichotomy between things that are 'hard and important' and those that are 'easy and trivial'. Everything has become so much harder than it ought to be. But, Greg McKeown, best-selling author of Essentialism, says, there is a third alternative. In Effortless, he offers practical strategies for making the most vital tasks the easiest ones. Honed over the better part of a decade, these strategies include:

  • Asking 'What Step Can I Remove?' (accomplish more in fewer steps)
  • Having the Courage to Be Rubbish (prioritise progress over perfection)
  • Deciding What 'Done' Looks Like (don't keep running after you pass the finish line)

McKeown's philosophy of essentialism has helped thousands to eliminate nonessential activities and focus on the few that really matter. Working out what is essential is the first step - making these tasks effortless is the next. Effortless will show you how.

loved it!

My key takeaways:

💡Essentialism is about doing the right things while #Effortless is doing it the right way.
💡Create building blocks of joy in everything you do.
💡Habits explain what you do. Rituals explain why you do them. Create your own "happy" ritual.
💡Importance of residual efforts for effortless results.
💡The need to gain unique knowledge. Something that we really must try more.
💡And the 5 levers to getting things done effortlessly- loved this part in the book!

A breezy, yet effective read with a lot of examples- go for it👍
