Are you experiencing decision making fatigue? Is this reducing the quality of your decision
making?

Are you overscheduling, overloading, and giving in to social pressure?

Here are the Takeaways from the Essentialism Book Club:

• Mindset of Essentialism: Look at what you believe. Does that support what you’re trying to achieve?
• Choose: The power of choice. We are faced with decisions every day and everything is noise.
• Tradeoff: What is worth it? Don’t allow other agendas to control our lives
• Discernment: Trivial vs important
• Be unavailable: Choose choice
• Look: Trivial many from the vital few
• Play: More effort can cause progress to plateau or stall
• Sleep: Vital for good decision making and progress
• Select: The power of extreme criteria.

The power of selection in decision making

? When online dating, I had criteria. I wouldn’t even entertain the idea of a smoker or person who slept in and would only date outdoor, dog lovers who loved adventure.

Criteria! It is super important for decision making.

? I also think it vital you select only valuable people and experiences in both your personal
and professional lives.

? The discipline of essentialism is all about making a wise investment in your time and energy
through making good choices. This allows for great momentum and creative freedom in what you do. It starts with clarity in what you are wanting to design, and then the discipline of creating it so you don’t go back to business default (old, nonproductive behaviors)

?Think of a bull charging for a red flag. Imagine that all around that bull, other colored flags start been flown around. How would that bull feel? Distracted, disorientated, less focused as it stumbles with uncertainty in different directions. Essentialism is about making the decision to not focus on those other flags and put all your energy into charging down that one important thing.

The way of the Essentialist involves doing less but better. Are you ready for this? Make the highest possible contribution in your life and business start the pursuit of the right thing.
