The fundamental tenet of Essentialism is the idea that doing less can actually lead to achieving more. McKeown encapsulates this notion with the phrase, 'Less but better.' He writes, 'There is tremendous freedom in learning that we can eliminate the nonessentials, that we are no longer controlled by other people’s agendas, and that we get to choose.' This principle advocates for a disciplined approach to prioritizing tasks that have significant impact and importance, rather than attempting to juggle numerous trivial activities. | Greg McKeown | Essentialism
