“Ask yourself at every moment, ‘Is this necessary?’” – Marcus Aurelius

Start3Things is not a magic formula to be more efficient, to find shortcuts to longcut work or to do more with less. Rather, it’s a prompt, an invitation, your permission slip to wake up, to challenge old stories, to stop busy work, to start new things with no concern for perfection, to improve with practice, to go deeper rather than wider and to focus on daily actions that move you closer to your purpose.

When we realize acutely that our days are numbered and the number is unknown, our perspective shifts, attention hones and efforts focus on what is truly necessary. Minor irritations, inconveniences and excuses are replaced with intention, consistency and rigor of practice.
