It's far too easy to get busy and focused on things that don't matter. Whether it's a Netflix binge, a relentless pursuit to get your inbox down to zero, or trying to be all things to all people, distraction can plague your priorities.
As my friend Greg McKeown says, most things are trivial, and very little is actually essential in our lives. But figuring out what that is and how to make it effortless to focus is a huge challenge. That's why I wanted him to come onto the podcast this week to share his thoughts.
Greg McKeown is a speaker, a bestselling author, and the host of the popular podcast What’s Essential. He has been covered by The New York Times, Fast Company, Fortune, Politico, and Inc., has been interviewed on NPR, NBC, Fox, and The Steve Harvey Show, and is among the most popular bloggers for LinkedIn. He is also a Young Global Leader for the World Economic Forum. McKeown’s New York Times bestselling book Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less has sold more than a million copies worldwide. Originally from London, England, he now lives in California with his wife, Anna, and their four children.
