The Power of Less
by Leo Babauta
Babauta's simplicity-based productivity: set limits, choose the essential, simplify, focus, create habits, start small, with specific routines for email, tasks, goals and daily life. It is brief, calm and practical, the productivity version of his Zen Habits blog, and it suits people overwhelmed by complicated systems.
Read it if…
you want a minimalist approach to getting things done.
Skip it if…
you want a complete system like GTD; this is deliberately sparse.
Three things you will actually use
- Limits create focus.
- One habit at a time, for thirty days.
- Three most important tasks a day.
Do this first
Choose your three most important tasks tonight for tomorrow and do them first.
Our verdict
Calm and simple.
