又一本讲决策的书,带了点工程学的方法论。 从可能性、取舍、目标三个角度讲,这个框架是没问题的。 理论框架: 一,可能性 惯性生活是有代价的,代价是慢慢忽视生活的可能性,慢慢也丧失了自己选择的能力,一旦自己放弃选择的时候,就会有别的力量或者别的人来帮你选择。这个...
评分 评分好多年没看鸡汤了,趁着年底出差坐火车看了几本鸡汤书,这本算是比较过硬的。 我在30岁以前研究最起码七八个领域的知识,包括事业上、学业上和个人兴趣上的。到了今年,我把其中大部分都砍掉了,然而依然吃力,我每年给自己做年度计划的时候,总会发现一堆证仍然没考下来,英语...

Have you ever found yourself stretched too thin?
Do you simultaneously feel overworked and underutilized?
Are you often busy but not productive?
Do you feel like your time is constantly being hijacked by other people’s agendas?
If you answered yes to any of these, the way out is the Way of the Essentialist.
The Way of the Essentialist isn’t about getting more done in less time. It’s about getting only the right things done. It is not a time management strategy, or a productivity technique. It is a systematic discipline for discerning what is absolutely essential, then eliminating everything that is not, so we can make the highest possible contribution towards the things that really matter.
By forcing us to apply a more selective criteria for what is Essential, the disciplined pursuit of less empowers us to reclaim control of our own choices about where to spend our precious time and energy – instead of giving others the implicit permission to choose for us.
Essentialism is not one more thing – it’s a whole new way of doing everything. A must-read for any leader, manager, or individual who wants to learn who to do less, but better, in every area of their lives, Essentialism is a movement whose time has come.
感觉内容搞个TED就够了 却絮絮叨叨不够深入地讲了一整本书 (主要是道理谁都懂。。然鹅
评分inspiring
评分3 action items (what i realized that putting in action items is more helpful to internalize the content of the book) 1. Say no firmly, resolutely and gracefully. 2. Block the time to reflect, explore the priority. 3. Evaluate the value based on here and now.
评分Greg给我的印象就是很会讲,讲得比较清楚的几点是,“努力工作“这种事情要先分辨哪些事情上的努力可以最高产为自己的目标做贡献,为了自己的目标去对request做筛选,No more yes. It’s either HELL YEAH! Or no. 如果一直处于on call的状态,绝对没有精力去思考任务中trivial和vital的差别。Say No可以有很多种方式,里面很有技巧的一种是不正面拒绝而是说you are open to A, I am willing to B. 一个半小时翻完了,等等有意思的回头记一笔。
