Do less.. accomplish more

One of the recent books which I had the opportunity to read is Leo Baubata's 'The Power of Less' - the blogger of the highly famed - zenhabits.net weblog.

Leo talks a lot about how to set limits - how to process and edit our long list of to-dos and our possessions.
What really matters is only the few - I am here reminded of the 80/20 principle-as wonderfully explained by 'Richard Koch' in his book of the same name.
Its a great read - not only that it contains practical wisdom.
One of the greatest learning to I personally got from the book -
is that 'The Power of Less' - i.e. - I dont have to mindlessly do a lot of activities - all I have to do is to the 'ESSENTIAL' thing - the Quadrant II activity as said by Dr.Stephen Covey in his book 'Seven habits of highly effective people'.
Read it and more importantly apply it in your life and work..
