Summary: The Power of Less

bookcover3

[ NOTE: These book summaries are designed as captures for what I’ve read, and aren’t necessarily great standalone resources for those who have not read the book. Their purpose is to ensure that I capture what I learn from any given text, so as to avoid realizing years later that I have no idea what it was about or how I benefited from it. ]

Summary

Lessons

  • Set a limit to your actions so that you’re forced to decide what’s important

  • When you set limits you force yourself to get maximum results with minimal resources

  • Setting limits increases focus

  • Focus on one thing at a time; multi-tasking is a myth

  • Creating new and productive habits is the best thing you can do to improve you life

  • Start small with your new habits

  • Simple goals and projects

  • Create MITS (most important tasks)

  • Do your MITs before anything else

  • In the morning you need to start consistent with breakfast, exercise, MITs

  • Declutter

  • Slow down

  • Health and fitness

  • You don’t need to dive into new things 1000% because it could burn you out; keep it fun
