Welcome to the Greg McEwan podcast. Greg's in Monk mode this week. Today's episode is one of his most popular episodes.

Eliminate the non-essentials. Thanks for listening.

Welcome, I'm your host, Greg McEwan, and for those who are new here, I'm the author of Two New York Times Best Sellers, Effortless and Essentialism.

And the host of this newly minted Greg McEwan podcast, where I am on a journey with you to learn how to negotiate, what really matters, when it really matters with the people who really matter.

And this really dovetails with the core idea within Essentialism itself.

Essentialism isn't about getting more done in less time. It's about getting only the right things done.

Have you ever found yourself stretched too thin? Have you ever been busy but not productive? Do you feel like your time is constantly hijacked by other people's agenda for you?

If you aren't suggesting any of these, the way out is the way of the Essentialist.

So by the end of this episode, you will be better able to eliminate the non-essentials from your life.

Today I'm going to share with you five specific things you can do right now, actionable advice for how you can be more of an Essentialist.

By the end of this episode, you will be better able to eliminate the non-essentials from your life. So let's get to it.

This episode is sponsored by Factor Meals. This season is a bit ironic, I think, because on the one hand, it's a time that can be peaceful,

rejuvenative, inspirational as it helps us to think about higher, better things. And at the same time, it can become reactive.

It can be the busiest time of the year. And in that intensity, it can be hard to eat in a healthy way.

And perhaps you're looking for a way to be able to eat a nutritious, flavorful meal despite being stretched a bit too thin.

Factor is America's number one ready to eat meal delivery service.

So they can help you eat well for breakfast, lunch, and dinner with chef prepared, dietician approved, ready to eat meals delivered straight to your door.

So the advantages you can save time while still staying on track with the healthy lifestyle that you're aspiring to the rest of the year,

while still tackling the most important things in this season to do. So if you're looking for a more effortless way to be able to cross meal prepping off your list,
