Summary of The Simplicity Survival Handbook (Bill Jensen)
Book Abstract
MAIN IDEA
To accomplish more, find tangible ways to do less of the stuff that doesn’t matter and more of the stuff that does.
In practical terms, this usually involves finding ways to cut off all the corporate silliness and senseless stuff which pervades most organizations. The antidote is usually to simplify things and get back to the basic, productive activities which will generate the bulk of the value you personally add. This may not be as hard as it sounds at first, since most of your day-to-day complexities probably originate from within your organization rather than externally. This is good because it means the cut-off valve also resides within your firm, not outside it.
Put another way, the real key to doing more isn’t to become better at what you do. Instead, find simple ways to eliminate all the other stuff so you can spend more time applying your unique talents on what genuinely matters. That’s the smart approach to greater personal productivity.
