Lead on Purpose with James Laughlin This PRODUCTIVITY SYSTEM Will Completely CHANGE YOUR LIFE! | Greg McKeown
In this episode, I sit down with Greg McKeown, bestselling author of Essentialism and Effortless, to uncover the secrets to simplifying life, prioritising what matters most, and achieving extraordinary results without burning out.
Greg shares his journey from chasing success to redefining it—shifting from the undisciplined pursuit of more to the disciplined pursuit of less but better. He reveals the personal wake-up call that sparked his transformation and offers practical strategies for anyone feeling overwhelmed by modern life’s demands.
We cover:
- What essentialism really means and how it’s the antidote to burnout.
- Greg’s personal story of prioritising work over family and the life-changing lesson it taught him.
- How to identify the ‘vital few’ tasks and eliminate the ‘trivial many.’
- The 3-step process to regain focus: Explore, Eliminate, and Execute.
- Why most people get stuck in reactive living—and how to break free.
- The power of Greg’s ‘Power Half Hour’ and how to structure your day for clarity and impact.
- Greg’s new Essentialism Planner and how it can help you start 2025 with focus and intention.
