Growing Up in Life - Manish A. Desai's Blog

My humble attempt and musing to grow up and hopefully be a better human being during this life time. I plan to share some of the books, writings, poems that have helped me grow up so far. Of course the journey continues till the last day. I would love to hear from the readers which books, writings, poems, anything else which have influenced them in their lives. ~~ I get lots of nice "forwarded" emails. The blog also serves as collecting pot of these selected stories & writings.

The Power of Less by Leo Babauta

Recenetly I read an interesting book, The Power of Less website by Leo Babauta. Nothing earth shattering but definitely good take aways. Here are the six principles he recommends.

Set Limitations - By setting limitations, we must choose the essential. So in everything you do, learn to set limitations.
Choose the Essential - By choosing the essential, we create great impact with minimal resources. Always choose the essential to maximize your time and energy.
Simplifying - Eliminating the Nonessential
Focus - Focus is your most important tool in becoming more effective.
Create Habits - Create new habits to make long lasting improvements.
Start Small - Start new habits in small increments to ensure success.
