Essentialism

6 memorable lines from Essentialism by Greg McKeown, each with the idea behind it.

“If you don't prioritize your life, someone else will.”
“The word priority came into the English language in the 1400s. It was singular. It meant the very first or prior thing.”
“Almost everything is noise. Very few things are exceptionally valuable.”
“We can either make our choices deliberately or allow other people's agendas to control our life.”
“The more choices we are forced to make, the more the quality of our decisions deteriorates.”
“Done is better than perfect. But essential done is better than non-essential done.”
