AP 381: How to Make the Essential Things More Effortless || with Greg McKeown

Does your to-do list make you feel burned out? Part of the problem comes from our hustle culture that glorifies people who “have it all” by doing it all. But, in reality, we can’t have–or do–it all, all the time. How can we avoid this burnout when we have so much to do? Greg McKeown has studied and written extensively on this subject. The answer: essentialism. Essentialism is the practice of paring down your life to only the essential. (Ex: simplifying your priorities AND your to-do list.) But, what happens when even the most essential tasks of life STILL overwhelm you? This was also the case for Greg. He discovered that although essentialism is THE start to living a more balanced life, there’s another step that follows: making what’s essential effortless.  In this episode, Greg talks about how you (as a REAL woman) can implement his ideas. You’ll leave with two questions you can ask when you feel burned out: “Is this essential?” And, “How can I make what is essential effortless?”  Plus, you’ll hear practical steps you can take to actually apply this in your life.  If you want to avoid burnout AND have the ability to do what matters most without the hustle, you won’t want to miss this episode!
