Welcome back everybody. I'm your host Greg McEwen. I'm the author of

essentialism and effortless and I am on this journey with you to learn so that we can figure out how to design a life that really matters.

Do you ever feel that your life is becoming more and more reactive?

Even where you get good things done in a day, you still feel like your life is living you

rather than you intentionally living your life.

Well in today's episode I'm going to share with you the one two three method.

It's simple, it's clear, and it's something that you can utilize today and every day to be able

to design a more essential life.

Let's get to it. If you're listening to this episode for the first time, I invite you to
