The One Thing–Gary Keller

Prioritize your tasks: Pareto Principle

Not all task are the same, so prioritize your task and do which is most important thing right now. The question to ask yourself when doing any thing.

“What is the ONE THING I can do such that doing it everything else will become easier or unnecessary”

Its like a mantra.

Key areas to think before you do your one thing

• Spiritual life
• Physical health
• Personal life
• Relationships
• Work
• Personal Finance

Good Habits: 66 days

Stick with the selective discipline long enough for it to become routine. Habits, on average, take 66 days to form. Once a habit is solidly established, you can either build on that habit or, if appropriate, build another one.

Willpower: Fuel tank

Do what matters most first each day when your willpower is strongest. Willpower is a fuel tank it gets depleted when we make decisions to focus our attention, suppress our feelings and impulses, or modify our behavior in pursuit of goals. so willpower must be managed.

Time-Block: Productive

If its a regular thing, block off the appropriate time every day so it becomes a habit, Everything else-other projects, paperwork, e-mail, calls, correspondence, meetings, and all the other stuff must wait. Usually mornings 1-4 hours for meditation, exercise, running. At work 1 hour for reading and learning new skills.

On doing your one thing, you have to accept chaos, ability to say “No”, be healthy to achieve great things, find group or friends who are achieving the same.
