Summary
In order to achieve Essentialism, one must:
- Block time to think and explore
- Explore many options in order to distinguish truly great opportunities from merely great ones (similar to the Filed Stone writing method by Gerald Weinberg)
- Read more books
- Keep a journal
- Understand the trade-offs of options
- Understand choice is an action, not an object to own and keep
- Play to recreate childhood excitement
- What were the things that excited you when you were a child? (I was crazy about reading magazines, drawing, video games and comic books)
- Decline non-essential requests
- Be present
