The book, The Power of Less, by Leo Baubuta, is so simple in concept, yet incredibly compelling. This “tutorial for living” makes you feel foolish to have bought into our society’s concept of more being better and multitasking being critical to success.
The book demonstrates how to streamline your life by identifying the essential and eliminating the unnecessary — freeing you from everyday clutter and brain-numbing overload. The following are two excerpts from the book we are incorporating at Crossbow.
One at a Time: Add or change only one habit at a time. Do not break this rule, because if you do multiple habits at once, you will be much less likely to succeed.
Choose an easy goal. Don’t decide to do something really hard, at least for now. Later, when you’re good at habit changes, you can choose something harder. But for now, do something you know you can do every day. In fact, choose something easier than you think you can do every day. If you think you can exercise for 30 minutes a day, choose 10 minutes — making it super easy is one of the surest ways to ensure you’ll succeed.
As a firm with many services and varying clients, multitasking is part of our everyday lives. Putting these techniques to work for us is already proving extremely worthwhile.
