12. Essentialism, by Greg McKeown: https://amzn.to/482yB7u
If you feel overwhelmed and at the same time unproductive, you need to know essentialism. More than a time management strategy or a productivity technique, it is a method for identifying what is vital and eliminating everything else, so that we can make the greatest possible contribution to what really matters. In this book, Greg McKeown shows that, to balance work and personal life, it is not enough to randomly refuse requests: you need to eliminate what is not essential and get rid of wasted time. We must learn to reduce, simplify and stay focused on our goals.
