#843: Tactics and Strategies for a 2026 Reboot — Essentialism and Greg McKeown (Repost)
The Tim Ferriss Show
Tim Ferriss re-releases a conversation with Greg McKeown to help listeners get grounded and focused for the new year. They discuss strategies for centering oneself during destabilizing times, using journaling for clarity, personal quarterly offsites, systems thinking, and converting one-time fixes into repeatable rules. McKeown shares methods for defining "done" to prevent work from expanding indefinitely and introduces the one-two-three method for a successful day. The conversation also explores essentialism, effortless productivity, temporal landmarks, pre-mortems, and the importance of meaning and gratitude in life.
