The Disciplined Pursuit of Less

Published: Oct. 18, 2021, 11 a.m.

b'Less is more. Truly.

But as humans we always seem to want more. Is the desire for more causing us to lose what truly matters?

In this episode, I share my thoughts on the practice of pursuing less.

Some refer to this as \\u2018essentialism\\u2019 since the purpose is to maintain a deep focus on only the most important things in life.

This discipline is just like any in that it takes a lot of practice. Mindfulness. An active re-commitment to simplifying things we try to complicate.

According to Greg McKeown, \\u201cIt\\u2019s a systematic discipline for discerning what is absolutely essential, then eliminating everything that is not, so we can make the highest possible contribution toward the things that really matter.\\u201d

If you feel:
\\u2022 burnt out
\\u2022 overworked
\\u2022 unproductive
\\u2022 unhappy, but too busy to change it

\\u2026 then this might be the change you\\u2019re looking for.

A way to finally take control of your life and jump off the treadmill that\\u2019s leading nowhere, but exhausting you.

I invite you to have a listen, to see if what\\u2019s in this episode makes the difference in your outlook that it has on mine.
