The Art Of Less Doing: One Entrepreneur's Formula for a Beautiful Life
by Ari R. Meisel
View on GoodreadsOptimize, automate, outsource. That's the three-step method Ari Meisel, a Wharton graduate who calls himself an Overwhelmologist, built after reaching near-collapse, physically and mentally, at a career peak, and by his account it cut his workload by about 80% while his results got better.
Core ideas
- The order matters: Optimize a task first, automate what you can after that, and only then outsource what's left to someone else.
- Two more tools: The 80/20 principle sits alongside a 3 D's rule for every task, whether to delete it, defer or delegate it, or deal with it.
- Built from illness: Managing his Crohn's disease through yoga, nutrition and exercise is what led him to the Less Doing method, and he founded a company of the same name.
