The ONE Thing – Gary Keller & Jay Papasan

If You Chase Two Rabbits...

You will not catch either one.

We live in a world that glorifies multitasking. We wear our "busyness" like a badge of honor. Gary Keller says this is a lie.

The ONE Thing argues that extraordinary results are directly determined by how narrow you can make your focus. It is about ignoring all the things you could do so you can do the one thing you should do.

The Core Concepts

This book provides a single question to filter your entire life.

The Focusing Question

"What is the ONE Thing I can do such that by doing it everything else will be easier or unnecessary?" Ask this for your business. Ask it for your health. Ask it for your marriage. It forces you to find the lead domino.

The Domino Effect

A domino can knock over another domino that is 50% larger than itself. If you start with a 2-inch domino, by the 57th domino, you could knock over a block the size of the moon. But you have to line them up and hit the first one.

The 4 Thieves of Productivity

1. Inability to say "No."
2. Fear of Chaos (Focus is messy).
3. Poor Health Habits.
4. Environment doesn't support your goals.
