The Untapped Science of Less

We pile on “to-dos” but don’t consider “stop-doings”. We create incentives for good behavior, but don’t get rid of obstacles to it. We collect new-and-improved ideas, but don’t prune the outdated ones. We neglect a basic way to make things better: We don’t subtract. This talk shows us how to find more of the options we’ve been missing - and empowers us to pursue them.
