By focusing on the vital few tasks, we can avoid being overwhelmed by the trivial many from "summary" of Essentialism by Greg McKeown

The concept of Essentialism is about the disciplined pursuit of less but better. It is a systematic approach for determining where our highest point of contribution lies and eliminating everything else. In a world where we are constantly bombarded with information and opportunities, it is easy to fall into the trap of trying to do it all. However, by trying to do everything, we end up spreading ourselves too thin and not making any significant progress in the areas that truly matter. Essentialism is not about doing more things; it's about doing the right things. It is about distinguishing between the trivial many and the vital few. The vital few tasks are the ones that truly matter and contribute the most to our goals and values. By focusing on these tasks, we can make a more significant impact and avoid being overwhelmed by the trivial many. The key to Essentialism is learning to say no to the non-essential tasks and opportunities that come our way. This requires setting clear criteria for what is essential and what is not, and being willing to say no to anything that does not align with our priorities. It also involves creating space for the important tasks by eliminating distractions and unnecessary commitments. Essentialism is not about being rigid or inflexible; it is about being intentional and strategic in our choices. It is about being proactive rather than reactive, and focusing on what truly matters to us. By embracing Essentialism, we can free up our time and energy to pursue the things that bring us fulfillment and make a real difference in our lives.
