Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less
Download my Essentialism by Greg Mckeown - Google Docs as a reference (at your peril). Below is the first part of my notes: Big Ideas:

Relentlessly pursues “Less, but better”
The vast majority of our environment is noise (“Trivial Many”)
Very few things matter (“Vital Few”)
Get rid of most of your actions
Spend a lot of time up front thinking about how to limit
Decisive and definitive: “If it’s not a clear yes, then it’s a clear no.”
Quote from intro: "Essentialism is not about how to get more things done; it’s about how to get the right things done. It doesn’t mean just doing less for the sake of less either. It is about making the wisest possible investment of your time and energy in order to operate at your highest point of contribution by doing only what is essential.” - Essentialism, page 5
