What’s Important Now?

Essentialism - Execute

We can’t control the future in a literal sense, just the now. Of course, we learn from the past and can imagine the future. Yet only in the here and now can we actually execute on the things that really matter.

Nonessentialist

  • Mind is spinning out about the past or the future
  • Thinks about what was important yesterday or tomorrow
  • Worries about the future or stresses about the past

Essentialist

  • Mind is focused on the present
  • Tunes in to what is important right now
  • Enjoys the moment

What can we do to be fully present on what is in front of us?

Step 1.  Figure out what is most important right now
Step 2.  Get the future out of your head
Step 3.  Prioritize
