Deep work is the ability to focus without distraction on a cognitively demanding task. It's a skill that allows you to quickly master complicated information and produce better results in less time. Deep work will make you better at what you do and provide the sense of true
fulfillment that comes from craftsmanship. In short, deep work is like a super power in our increasingly
competitive twenty-first century economy. And yet, most people have lost the ability to go deep-spending their days instead in a frantic blur of e-mail and social
media, not even realizing there's a better way.

By forcing us to apply a more selective criteria for what is Essential, the disciplined pursuit of less empowers us to
reclaim control of our own choices about where to spend our precious time and energy – instead of giving others the
implicit permission to choose for us.
Essentialism is not one more thing – it’s a whole new way of doing everything. A must-read for any leader, manager, or individual who wants to do less, but better, and declutter
and organize their own their lives, Essentialism is a movement whose time has come.

Mark Forster's book "Get Everything Done and Still Have Time to Play" took an entirely new approach to time
management. One of his most important points was that once we have taken on a commitment, prioritising does not work because we need to do everything relating to
that commitment. In the six years since he wrote the book as he has reached thousands of people through writing, seminars and coaching, he has continued to
develop and refine his methods .

good reasons to say NO when an unexpected invitation arrived. Hollywood party? No. Speaking engagement?

Who hasn’t asked the question “How can I find and follow my true calling?” Elle Luna frames this moment as
“standing at the crossroads of Should and Must.” “Should” iswhat we feel we ought to be doing, or what is expected of us. “Must” is the thing we dream of doing, our heart’s desire. And it was her own personal journey that inspired Elle Luna to write a brief online manifesto that, in a few short months, has touched hundreds of thousands of people who’ve read
it or heard Elle speak on the topic.
