How to achieve more by doing less
Productivity experts @#$%! me off. They tell you what to do and bang on about the importance of work, but often don’t create anything themselves.
I’m pretty sure that a puritanical cult is behind most productivity porn. They chant to make the most of your time, squeeze out every last drop of blood, and sacrifice your life on the altar of work. It’s almost like they don’t have the good sense to be lazy.
Do you struggle to keep up with everything you’ve got to get done? Do you feel like there aren’t enough hours in the day? Do you wish it was easy? If so, then welcome to the real world. That said, you should give the effortless approach a try.
I’m talking about Effortless: Make It Easier to Do What Matters Most by Greg McKeown. It’s the follow-up to his previous book: Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less.
I listened to the audiobook whilst out walking because that’s how productive I am.
