I𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗲𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗿𝘆?

From 'Meditations', Marcus Aurelius said:

If you seek tranquillity, do less. Most of what we do and say is not essential. Ask yourself at every moment, '𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗲𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗿𝘆?'

He understood that most of us fill our days with non-essential tasks. ⏱️

Each day, ask yourself: "Is this necessary?" You'll find the answer is often no.

By eliminating the non-essential:

• Your decisions will improve

• Your stress will decrease

• Your focus will deepen on what truly matters

We don't need more productivity hacks—we need the courage to do less.

What ONE non-essential activity could you eliminate today to find more tranquility?
