为什么值得读
- 提醒人们少做事情并把它们做得更好
- 缓解信息过载带来的精神倦怠
- 促使读者简化过于复杂的管理系统
Essentialism 并非追求在更少的时间里做更多的事，而是只把真正对的事情做好。你是否曾觉得自己分身乏术？是否同时感到过度操劳却又未尽其才？是否常常忙碌却毫无成效？是否觉得自己的时间不断被他人的日程所绑架？如果你的回答中有“是”，那么摆脱困境的出路就是成为一名精要主义者（Essentialist）。Essentialism 不仅仅是一种时间管理策略或生产力技巧，更是一门系统化的处事哲学，旨在辨明什么是绝对核心的要素，进而剔除所有非

格雷格·麦吉沃恩（Greg McKeown）写的《精要主义》（Essentialism）。我现在正在读，已经从中学到了很多。
"Essentialism", by Greg McKeown. Reading it right now, have already learned a lot from it.
……晚上能让我从工作中抽离出来。陀思妥耶夫斯基那极其细腻的叙事风格非常给力，直接把我的思绪带到了19世纪的俄国，彻底远离了工作和当下的各种烦恼。格雷格·麦吉沃恩的《精要主义》（Essentialism）和卡尔·纽波特的《深度工作》（Deep Work）——我把这两本书放在一起，是因为它们都提醒了我同样重要的教训：1）少做点事，把事情做得更好；2）过度忙碌并不是什么标志……
…distract me from work in the evenings. Dostoevsky's overly descriptive narrative does a great job of transporting my mind to 19th-century Russia and far, far from my work and other present-day concerns. Essentialism by Greg McKeown, and Deep Work by Cal Newport - Pairing them together because they both reminded me the same important lessons: 1) Do fewer things and do them better, 2) Being overly busy is not a sign…
……在家里断舍离、泡咖啡馆、散散步、做些自我关照的事。大家都说要多看书，但我职业倦怠的一部分原因就是信息过载。唯一真正帮到我很多的一本书是格雷格·麦吉沃恩的《精要主义》（Essentialism）。GTD也挺有用，但前提是我得有精力去遵循它的准则。对我来说，现在的秘诀就是暂时别对自己抱有太大期望。而且我这边现在正是冬天，我……
…decluttering at home, sitting in cafes, going for short walks, doing self-care stuff. People say to read books, but part of my burnout was information overwhelm. The one book that's been helping me a lot is Essentialism by Greg McKeown. GTD is also helpful but only when I have the energy to follow its guidelines. For me the trick is to just really not expect anything much of myself for now. It's also Winter where I…
前段时间我开始用 Obsidian.md 来管理知识。后来我读了格雷格·麦吉沃恩的《精要主义》（Essentialism），猛然意识到践行精要主义也意味着别再去折腾一套宏观层面的复杂体系了。我弃用了 Obsidian.md，现在只保留了几个 .md 文件来记录少数核心的……
Some times ago I started to use Obsidian.md to manage my Knowledge. Then I read Essentialism by Greg McKeown, and I suddenly realized that embracing Essentialism also means to stop having a macro-complexity to manage. I stopped using Obsidian.md and now I just have some .md file for the few essential…
有人问我怎么从天天忙得不可开交的状态里解脱出来。我强烈推荐两本书：格雷格·麦吉沃恩的《精要主义》（Essentialism）和卡尔·纽波特的《深度工作》（Deep Work）。它们虽然没能解决我所有的苦恼，但至少给了我一个努力的方向。
Someone asked me how to get out from being constantly swamped. I highly recommend two books: Essentialism by Greg McKeown, and Deep work by Cal Newport. They haven't fixed all my woes but they gave me something to strive for.
……去开会、和重要人物喝咖啡聊事情等等。自律的关键在于能够说“不”。老实说，哪怕换了7家以上的公司，我觉得自己到现在都还没掌握这项技能 :) 推荐去读读格雷格·麦吉沃恩写的《精要主义》（Essentialism）。
…conferences, have coffee meetings with important people, etc. The discipline is to be able to say "No". To be honest it is still a skill I feel I haven't mastered yet, 7+ companies later :) I recommend reading Essentialism, by Greg McKeown.
