Effortless: Make It Easier To Do What Matters Most

Leadership consultant McKeown (Essentialism) focuses on managing effort expenditure and priorities in this book, to help listeners find an easier way to do hard things. He sets out three steps: get into an effortless state of relaxation, from which it is easier to do things; take effortless action to examine yourself and your motivations; and achieve effortless results. The goal is that listeners learn to do the most essential activities more easily, in order to get more done without burning out. McKeown explains how to add fun to the essential, hard tasks that we might tend to postpone; for instance, he suggests watching a favorite TV program while exercising, or eating chocolate while doing your taxes. While Essentialism explained how to determine the tasks that matter most, Effortless aims to teach the right way to do the right things.
