Essentialism is a disciplined, systematic approach for determining where our highest point of contribution lies, then making execution of those things almost effortless, based on Greg McKeown's book "Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less."
"Less but better" - The way of the Essentialist isn't about getting more done in less time, but about getting only the right things done.
1. Individual Choice: We can choose how to spend our energy and time. Without choice, there is no point in talking about trade-offs.
2. Prevalence of Noise: Almost everything is noise, and a very few things are exceptionally valuable. The majority of efforts produce marginal results.
3. Reality of Trade-offs: We can't have it all or do it all. If we could, there would be no reason to evaluate or eliminate options.

Do Less, But Better: Invest time and energy only in activities that make the highest contribution.
The Power of No: Learn to say no to good opportunities to say yes to great ones.
90 Percent Rule: Rate opportunities 0-100. Anything less than 90 is a 0. This forces selective criteria.
Trade-offs: Stop asking "How can I do it all?" and start asking "Which problem do I want?"
