Lektion 1
The Essentialist
Today’s goal is to learn about Essentialism, why it’s important, and how it enables you to break free from the need to do it all, allowing you to prioritize what truly matters.
The core idea for this section is that Essentialism is the practice of doing less but with greater intention and focus, helping you achieve more impact, improve efficiency, and take control of your time and energy.
Lektion 2
Power Of Choice
In the previous session, we discussed how living as an Essentialist means simplifying your life by doing fewer things but doing them with greater quality and focus, prioritizing only what truly matters.
Today, we’ll focus on the importance of conscious choice in the practice of Essentialism and how taking ownership of your choices can transform the way you live and work.
The key idea for this session is that Essentialism starts with recognizing the power of choice. While you may not have control over every situation, you always have control over how you choose to respond.
Lektion 3
Pareto Principle
In our last session, we examined the power of choice and how taking ownership of your decisions is key to living with intention and purpose.
Today, we’ll focus on learning how to direct your energy toward the activities and efforts that have the greatest impact and create the most meaningful outcomes.
The main idea for this section is rooted in the principle that 80% of your results come from just 20% of your efforts. True success lies in identifying and prioritizing those vital few tasks that matter most.
Lektion 4
Trade-Off
In our previous session, we discussed how a small portion of your efforts typically leads to the majority of your outcomes, and how the 80/20 rule can guide you to focus on what truly matters.
Today, we’ll dive into the concept of trade-offs in decision-making and learn how to approach them intentionally.
The key idea for this section is that every decision carries a cost—saying yes to one thing inevitably means saying no to something else. Success comes from consciously choosing what to prioritize.
Lektion 5
Deep Work
In our last session, we discussed how trade-offs are a natural part of life and how making deliberate choices helps you reserve your time and energy for the things that truly matter.
Today, we’ll focus on developing the habit of deep work by dedicating consistent, distraction-free time to make meaningful progress.
The main idea for this section is that engaging in uninterrupted, focused work on challenging tasks not only leads to better outcomes but also enhances your sense of satisfaction and improves your mental clarity.
Lektion 6
Finding What Matters Most
In our previous session, we talked about the importance of Deep Work and how dedicating uninterrupted time for focused work drives meaningful progress.
Today, our focus is on identifying what truly matters to you and learning how to structure your time and decisions around those core priorities.
The key idea for this section is that aligning your time with your values leads to a sense of fulfillment, while a disconnect between the two often leaves you feeling unfulfilled and out of sync.
Lektion 7
Yes Or No
In our previous session, we explored how to align your time with your top priorities and recognize areas where your actions may not match what matters most.
Today, we’ll focus on applying a simple decision-making filter to safeguard your time and maintain your focus.
The core idea for this section is straightforward: if something isn’t an enthusiastic “yes,” it should be a “no.” This approach helps ensure your time is spent on what truly aligns with your goals and values.
Lektion 8
The Progress Principle
In our last session, we discussed the "Hell Yes or No" rule as a way to prioritize opportunities that truly align with your values and goals, helping you focus on what matters most.
Today, we’ll explore how making small, visible progress on meaningful tasks can boost your motivation and drive.
The key idea for this section is that steady progress is what fosters engagement, satisfaction, and momentum, keeping you energized to continue moving forward.
Lektion 9
Setting Boundaries
In our previous session, we discussed how progress creates momentum and how acknowledging small, meaningful achievements helps you stay focused and motivated.
Today, we’ll focus on the importance of setting boundaries to safeguard your priorities and avoid burnout.
The central idea for this session is that boundaries act as essential tools to protect your time, energy, and values, ensuring you stay aligned with what matters most.
Lektion 10
Focus
In our previous session, we discussed the importance of setting and maintaining clear boundaries to safeguard your time, energy, and values, and how doing so fosters both clarity and respect.
Today, we’ll dive into what true focus looks like, why it’s essential, and how to build habits and systems that help protect and strengthen it.
The key idea for this session is that focus is about making intentional choices, avoiding distractions, and dedicating your full attention to one task at a time.
