"If I did not have this opportunity, how much would I be willing to sacrifice in order to obtain it?" Similarly, we can ask, "If I wasn't already involved in this project, how hard would I work to get on it?"' From "Essentialism" by Greg McKeown: 'This book guides you through the process of saying "no" to the "trivial many" so you can focus more on the "essential few".' A very thorough book summary is here: https://paulminors.com/essentialism-by-greg-mckeown-book-summary-pdf/ (Don't need to download the .pdf, the content is all on the webpage). ###
