Living in Denmark

1. Find a partner and read chapter 1 of Essentialism and invite them to do the 21-Day Challenge with you.
2. Catch yourself one time saying the words: “I have to”. Replace with “I Choose to ….”
3. Ask “What is the most important thing I can do today?”
4. When the thought “I will do both” crosses your mind, stop, pause and pick one of the choices.
5. Schedule a Personal Quarterly Off-Site to explore what is essential
6. Start an essential journal. Write one sentence a day answering the question “What’s the most important thing that happened today?”
7. Spend ten minutes playing a game with a child. Lose yourself in the magical exploration that comes so easily to children
8. Take a 20 min nap
9. One time today, when something is not a clear yes, make it a clear no
10. Before going into your next meeting, pause and ask yourself, “What is the one thing I really want to achieve in this meeting?”
11. Write out hot to say no gracefully
12. Look at each commitment on your calendar for the week. Ask” If I werent already involved, how hard would I work to get involved now?”
13. Use this new rule for one day: If you add a new activity, you need to edit out an existing activity to make space for it
14. Next time anyone asks you to do something, pause and say, “Let me check my calendar and get back to you
15. Add four 30 minute “appointments” on your calendar everyday for buffer: time set aside to handle the unexpected problems and opportunities that come your way
16. When you face an obstacle today, instead of pushing harder against it, ask, “How can I remove this obstacle altogether?”
17. Start a meeting with the question, “What has gone right since we last met?”
18. Starting with a blank one-week calendar, design your Dream Routine: how you want to spend your time each week
19. Pause once today and ask yourself, “What’s important now?”
20. Schedule a Personal Quarterly Off-site to explore, talk, reflect, dream and plan
21. Invite your team to read Essentialism as a book club
