Episode 2111:
Leo Babauta argues that doing less isn't about accomplishing less in life, it's about creating higher-quality work with greater impact while reducing stress and making room for what matters most. By focusing deeply, eliminating unnecessary commitments, and valuing craftsmanship over busyness, he shows how a simpler approach can transform both your work and your personal life.

Quotes to ponder:
"Doing less is not about being lazy (though being lazy is a good start), it’s about focusing on quality rather than quantity."
"I’d argue that by focusing on quality, you could work less and still have a higher impact."
"It won’t happen overnight. Change gradually, but surely."
