Modern life pushes us to do everything, leaving us exhausted and unproductive. Essentialism is the disciplined pursuit of doing less but better by focusing only on what truly matters.
You must intentionally prioritize your own life and time, otherwise someone else will do it for you.
Evaluate opportunities strictly, and if your answer is not a definitive and enthusiastic yes, it must be a firm no.
Protect your physical and mental assets by prioritizing adequate sleep, scheduling time to think, and allowing yourself to play.
