<h2>About the Author
</h2>
Ari Meisel has turned his hobby—optimizing productivity—into a popular framework and consulting service for automating and outsourcing life’s tasks. His “Less Doing” philosophy continues to grow in popularity and has become a platform for general efficiency consulting to businesses, entrepreneurs, and everyone else who could use a little more time in their life. He lives on Long Island with his wife, three children, and two dogs.

<h3>Overview
</h3>
Whether you’re a teacher or an executive, the strategies in Ari Meisel’s book “Less Doing, More Living: Make Everything in Life Easier” offer an extensive approach to reducing and optimizing your work to make more time for the better things in life. In 2006, after being diagnosed with Crohn’s disease, Meisel made the life-changing decision to focus on his health and work smarter, not harder. He now holds the following titles: best-selling author, productivity expert, CEO, real estate developer and green building consultant. While running multifaceted businesses and parenting three children, it became clear that Meisel simply needed more time to do more the “Less Doing, More Living” principle was born.

Optimizing, automating, and outsourcing are the three keys to reduce a large workload and clear up mental space. These keys apply to any problem area that may occur, whether at work or at home. To optimize a workload, Meisel suggests breaking a task down to the bare minimum requirements, simplifying it and eliminating any unnecessary details. Once a task is optimized, the next step is to automate. Meisel suggests using one of the many apps and websites he includes in the book to get the task completed without human involvement. The last step is to outsource. Outsourcing involves handing over remaining tasks to a generalist or specialist. With these three keys, no task should go undone.

The three keys to Less Doing are:

Optimize
Automate
Outsource

For any challenge, the first thing to do is optimize it. Break it down to its bare minimum, simplify it, and eliminate everything that’s not completely necessary. Once you’ve boiled the task down to its essentials, the goal is to break what’s left into bite-sized tasks that can be replicated and possibly delegated.

Nine fundamental principles:

The 80/20 Rule
Creating an “External Brain”
Customization
Choose Your Own Workweek
Stop Running Errands
Finances
Organization
Batching
Wellness
