More or Less:

Eric Barker, Barking up the wrong tree:

"We always think we need more: more help, more motivation, more energy. But in our current world the answer is often the exact opposite: we need less. Fewer distractions, fewer goals, fewer responsibilities. ... The question is what are you going to do less of? What are you going to quit or say no to in order to make time for what matters most?"

"Jim Collins, author of Good to Great, did an exhaustive study of companies that turned themselves around and went from disappointments to huge successes. What he found was that most of the big changes they made weren't about new initiatives but about the bad things they needed to stop doing."
