0:00.0	Welcome to the show I'm Greg McEwan and I'm your host on the What's Essential Podcast.
0:10.1	Inessentialism I wrote that the antidote to a state of constant busyness and distraction
0:15.6	was to identify the activities that are truly essential and eliminate everything else.

1:40.0	my podcast so I've been excited about this.
1:42.6	Yeah, it was really a pleasure to be on your podcast and so happy to have you on this.
1:47.6	I mean, can you just help me given your work, given your research, given your writing?
