Jay Papasan
Gary Keller
The book discusses the benefits of prioritizing a single task and provides strategies for overcoming distractions, building productive habits, and maintaining focus. It challenges common productivity myths such as multitasking and the idea of a balanced life, and introduces the 'Focusing Question': 'What's the ONE Thing I can do such that by doing it everything else will be easier or unnecessary?' The authors also discuss time blocking, habit-building, and aligning short-term actions with long-term goals to achieve success in various aspects of life[1][3][5].
Eric Tivers is a licensed clinical social worker, ADHD coach, and host of ADHD reWired. He’s dedicated to helping ADHD adults live more intentional lives while avoiding burnout.
Top 3 Value Bombs
1. Hustle culture is toxic culture.
2. You need to have a balance and perspective. You need the other areas in your life that are not related to your business to help you not to get burned out with your work and business.
3. Rest isn’t a reward but it is required. Our brain needs rest and we need enough sleep.
