The brain cannot focus on several things at once. It’s neither efficient nor effective.įurthermore, switching between tasks is costly to the brain. There’s only one thing that will get you where you want to be.
Only do the 1% that will make 99% of the success. > focus on the 20%, the small things that create big success. The Pareto principle is the idea that 80% of your success comes from 20% of what you do. If a list isn’t built around success, it won’t take you there. The question is: how do you prioritize? How do you do that which you are supposed to do?Ĭreate a success list instead, a list that prioritizes results. In the real world, things are never equal. These six lies prevent us from being successful by applying the one thing.
A balanced life -> no good thing comes out of balance.Willpower is always on will-call -> use it intelligently.Everything matters equally -> one thing usually matters much more than the rest.People excelling at one thing specifically started with a passion, that they transformed into a skill, then a profession.īefore we talk about the one thing, we need to see through the lie we have been told about it. Over time is key, as this is how success is built.Ĭompanies that excel, excel at one thing. You do one right thing, then another one, then another one, and your life changes.Īnyone that has a lot of anything (money, knowledge, skills) acquired it over time. This domino effect applies to the bigger picture of your life. > one thing can create a consequence of much bigger other things.
This principle is so famous that it became a meme. Now, what’s interesting is that one domino can topple another domino that is 50% bigger. One domino can start a chain of events and topple millions of other dominos.Īll it took was one thing – the first domino. When you go small, you stare at one thing only, which is the thing that will bring out the most results. It’s only when light is concentrated that it can melt the iron.įor your achievement to add up, you need to subtract, not add. The ONE ThingĮxtraordinary results are directly determined by how narrow you can make your focus. Summary of The One Thing Written by Gary Keller 1. If you’re someone that lacks focus in your life, I definitely recommend it.Īlternatively, you can read Essentialism. It’s a good introductory book to organization and self-development. The ONE Thing is nice because it’s not too long, and to the point, but it lacks clarity. There were many important pieces of information that should have been explored more while simultaneously, many were completely irrelevant.Īs a result, the book got me excited, longing for more, and bored almost at the same time. The ONE Thing is an interesting book about an interesting principle that ironically, the author failed to respect. The book explores this principle in various situations in life. Success is a matter of focusing on a few things only. That thing is the only thing you should be doing. It explains that there is only one thing that will help you get significantly closer to your goal. The ONE Thing is a book written by Gary Keller.
