Focus on One Thing

TIME MANAGEMENT: The ONE Thing





“Extraordinary results are directly determined by how narrow you
can make your focus”.





The truth is that things don’t matter equally and success is
found in doing what matters most. Sometimes it’s the first thing
you do. Sometimes it’s the only thing you do. Regardless, doing
the most important thing is always the most important thing.
Go Small: Don’t focus on being busy, rather focus on being
productive. Allow what matters most to drive our day.Go
Extreme: Once you’ve figured out what actually matters, keep asking
what matters most until there is only one thing left. That core
activity goes to the top of your success list.




The Focusing Question


Is a double duty question. It comes in two forms: big picture and
small focus. One thing is about finding the right direction in
life and the other is about finding the right action.





The Big Picture Question: “What’s my ONE thing?” Use it to
develop a vision for your life and the direction of your career
or final year; it’s your strategic compass.





The Small - Focus Question: “What’s my ONE thing right
now?” Use this when you first wake up and throughout the day. It
keeps you focused on your most important work.
