The One Thing by Gary Keller. “What’s the ONE Thing I can do such that by doing it everything else will become easier or unnecessary?” The book deals with productivity, effectiveness principles like habit-building & bench-marking at work.
Differentiates between the Big-Picture Question (What’s my ONE Thing?) & Small-Focus Question (What’s my ONE Thing right now?). The core idea is that focusing on excessive amount of tasks will more likely lead to under-performance. People are intrigued, inspired by the simple & powerful concept to focus on what matters most.
WE WANT LESS – daily barrage of e-mails, messages & meetings that cause stress. What’s the cost? Missed deadlines, smaller potential, loss of focus & low passion.
WE WANT MORE – productivity & better work-life balance. More satisfaction & fulfilment at work.
WE CAN HAVE BOTH: LESS & MORE – talks about cutting through the daily clutter to achieve better results in less time. Helps build momentum towards our goals, dials down stress, revives positive energy & delivers value. Inspires for innovation.
